The Anthropocene, also known as the “Age of Humankind”, is a term gaining currency to refer to the geological epoch of human activity that will leave a mark on the Earth observable after millions of years, and to a time when awareness of the human-environment relationship should be at the fore.
In this symposium, some experts from various fields will give talks about the Anthropocene from each perspective.
Human activity both influences and is influenced by the natural environment. To sustain human activity into the future, what should we do? At this point in time, we humans are searching for a means to coexist with nature. The symposium hopes to explore in depth this ongoing challenge.
