Editorial: Pedagogical and Educational Consequences of the Anthropocene

The concept of the Anthropocene formulated at the beginning of the 21st century by Paul Crutzen and Eugene Stoermer, has been permanently located in the transdisciplinary lexicon of the earth sciences, social sciences, humanities, and art. It points to such a dimension of human agency that is profoundly and irreversibly transforming the biosphere and geological time. The current situation is connected with the climate change, ecological catastrophes, biodiversity loss, the so-called sixth extinction, and global capitalism, along with the associated phenomenon of polycrisis, prompts reflection on the complex consequences of an anthropocentric worldview and a revision of existing models of thought and activities.
