Environment, Social Justice, and the Media in the Age of Anthropocene addresses three imminent challenges to human society in the age of the Anthropocene. The first challenge involves the survival of the species; the second the breakdown of social justice; and the third the inability of the media to provide global audiences with an adequate orientation about these issues. The notion of the Anthropocene as a geological age shaped by human intervention implies a new understanding of the human context that influences the physical and biological sciences. Human existence continues to be affected by the physical and biological reality from which it evolved but, in turn, it affects that reality as well. This work addresses this paradox by bringing together the contributions of researchers from very different disciplines in conversation about the complex relationships between the physical/biological world and the human world to offer different perspectives and solutions in establishing social and environmental justice in the age of the Anthropocene.

Humanity faces two urgent and interrelated problems that may affect our survival. One is that we are destroying our planet and are unable (or unwilling) to stop; the other is that, globally, human relationships, institutions, and systems continue to rely on and perpetuate social injustice.One Humanity, One Planet: A Framework for Worldwide Social Justice examines these problems through the lens of the concept of One Humanity and One Planet—a vision of unity that emphasizes the fundamental interconnectedness of humans and their environment. The essays in this collection explore how this idea can help us intervene in the systemic oppression of people and the destruction of the natural world while highlighting the need for humanity to act as a global community.
