Religion, Environment, and Anthropocene (original) (raw)

The ongoing pandemic has facilitated an international, virtual conference that seeks to reevaluate humanity's relationship with nature, particularly in the context of the Anthropocene—an epoch marked by significant human impact on the Earth. Organized by the Philippine International Studies Organization (PHISO), the conference emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary dialogue that addresses the shortcomings of traditional International Relations theories, particularly in light of overwhelming global challenges such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Through diverse contributions, the conference aims to foster a rethinking of anthropocentrism and promote scholarly engagement rooted in the experiences and realities of the Global South.
