Anthropocene

Definition

“Anthropocene”, which is suggested by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer in 2000, is one of the suggestions to define the current geological era, view as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment (Oxford dictionary, 2020).  

Insight

The concept of Anthropocene means that human has become the dominant driver of global earth system change (Crutzen, 2002).

In other words, the Anthropocene indicates that the earth-ecological crisis facing today was caused because of the developed power of socio-economy, not because of the earth system (Steffen, et al., 2015).
