Dear colleagues, We welcome you to engage with the Earth System Governance community through an upcoming webinar and to submit your work and ideas for the 2021 Bratislava Conference on Earth System Governance: ------------------------------------------- 'Earth System Law as a legal paradigm for the Anthropocene' - ESG Speaker Series Zoom Webinar, 4th February, 16.00-17:30 (UTC+1) - register here<https://www.earthsystemgovernance.net/events/esg-speaker-series-earth-system-law/>. In this first virtual ESG Speaker Series, titled 'Earth System Law as a legal paradigm for the Anthropocene', we explore how the deepening socio-ecological crisis of the Anthropocene can be addressed from a legal perspective. The notion of the Anthropocene has gained prominence in the last decade, highlighting the fundamental impact of humans on the planet and trajectories of an intensifying socio-ecological crisis. In this Webinar, Prof. Louis Kotzé and Dr. Rakhyun E. Kim argue that International Environmental Law has become unsuitable for governing the Anthropocene: analytically it is unable to respond to complex earth system governance challenges; it does not offer appropriate norms to prevent earth system decay; and it is not ambitious enough to achieve necessary radical transformations. These deficiencies of International Environmental Law has led scholars of the Earth System Governance to propose an alternative future pathway for law in the Anthropocene: Earth System Law. This session will first introduce the concept of Earth System Law by Prof. Louis Kotzé and Dr. Rakhyun E. Kim. Thereafter, an invited critique of the proposed paradigm is offered according to its analytical, normative and transformative dimensions, by Research Fellows Laura Mai, Dr. Marie Petersmann and Emily Webster. Lastly, the audience are invited for discussion and question-and-answer before concluding the 90 minute session.
