Towards a Transposition of the Anthropocene: Human Rights in a Scenario of Sustainability of Life

Towards a Transposition of the Anthropocene: human rights in a scenario of sustainability of Life The initial problem posed is how to conceive of a new era for humanity and planet Earth in the face of the risks of destruction and extinction of living beings, stemming from the depletion of survival conditions and the limits of natural resources. In this scenario, with a possible apocalyptic outcome, what role will normative processes and, especially, Human Rights play in the future? A range of questions arises concerning the future of human life and living beings in the Anthropocene era: not only the coexistence of Human Rights with Non-Human Rights but, above all, how the prevailing traditional conception of Human Rights would be able to address these new adversities. The central problem is: how to position Human Rights within this future scenario, including the integration of Non-Human Rights? This concern also introduces the controversial implications of the Anthropocene era, which brings into question the future of humanity and planet Earth itself. The proposed reflection is to, in light of the gravity of socio-environmental, political, legal, and natural crises, highlight alternatives in different fields of human activity, not only interdependent mechanisms that foster resistance to the hegemonic civilizational model present in the Anthropocene but also constitutive processes capable of advancing beyond the current normative frameworks, recreating ecocentric forms of the Human Right to life, of Human Rights as integrated with the Rights of Nature.
