Anthropocene and Sustainable Development
Focusing on human-Earth interactions, this work examines global environmental hazards arising from the industrial era, the formulation and implementation of the sustainable development concept, international cooperation, and national institutional frameworks. Ultimately, it explores how we might address environmental changes and implement sustainable development in the future, paving pathways for the future of human-Earth relations.
It integrates scientific issues with social, political, and economic dimensions, directly exposing environmental problems arising since the Industrial Revolution; introduces international conferences convened for environmental protection and resulting conventions, while demonstrating China's efforts toward sustainable development.
