To stay within the "Anthropocene" - an epoch in which humankind as the dominant force shaping the planet retains a degree of control over the destructive processes it has unleashed - global warming must be kept below 2° Celsius. This book explores the unprecedented technological and legal changes required to achieve this. Featuring contributions from leading experts, the essays examine the intersection of technology, law, and environmental values, offering diverse viewpoints on navigating the Anthropocene. Revealing the controversies of rapid technological adoption and legal reform, this is a crucial analysis of a complex future whose many dangers for our society are barely understood.
