Russia’s War in Ukraine – An Imperial, Colonial and Ecological Battle against Energy Transition

The Anthropocene Mindset

The existing environmental law principles such as sustainable development and “polluter pays” have been created within the context of a Holocene mindset.

Developed since the 1970s to “manage” the environment for human benefits, they are out of touch with novel planetary governance challenges emanating from within complex interconnected Earth system transformations. The Anthropocene instead demands a new governance mindset that is undergirded by Earth-centred legal principles to guide law and policymakers to develop law for the Anthropocene.
