Abstract

Ovaj rad bavi se tematikom antropocena koja je u hrvatskoj znanstvenoj i popularnoj literaturi zanemarena, a sastavni je dio naše svakodnevnice. S obzirom da u hrvatskoj znanosti nedostaje prijevod strane literature, ali isto tako i interes za bavljenjem ekološkom geopolitikom, a posebice diskursom antropocena, ovaj rad važan je upravo iz razloga što je obogatio hrvatsku literaturu. Metoda ovog rada je pregledni rad jednog pojma. U prvom dijelu opisuje se povijesni razvoj novog geološkog razdoblja – antropocena, njegove implikacije i potencijalni ishodi u budućnosti ako čovječanstvo ne preuzme brigu za okoliš. Metoda drugog dijela rada je geopolitička analiza sigurnosti različitih područja u svijetu, a u tom dijelu razmatraju se sigurnosni izazovi i opasnosti koje prijete čovječanstvu već danas, ali i u ne tako dalekoj budućnosti ako glavni akteri ne preuzmu brigu o klimatskim promjenama. Ovaj pregledni rad dokazao je da je pitanje klimatskih promjena važno pitanje, a novo razdoblje antropocena razdoblje je čovjekovog predominantnog utjecaja na prirodu. Pojava antropocena i njegov razvoj geopolitički uvjetuje budućnost čovječanstva, s obzirom da su klimatske promjene postale sigurnosno pitanje.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with the topic of Anthropocene, which is neglected in Croatian scientific and popular literature and is an integral part of our everyday life. Since Croatian scientific literature on the topic lacks suitable translation of foreign literature, but also the interest in dealing with ecological geopolitics, and in particular the Anthropocene discourse, this work is important precisely because it enriches Croatian literature. The method of this paper is a review of one concept. The first part describes the historical development of a new geological period – Anthropocene, its implications and potential outcomes in the future if humanity does not take care for the environment. The second part of the paper is a geopolitical analysis of the security of various areas in the world, and in this section security challenges and dangers that threaten mankind today are considered but also in the not so distant future if the main actors do not take care of climate change. This paper has shown that the issue of climate change is an important issue, and the new period of the Anthropocene is a result of mankind's predominant impact on nature. The emergence of Anthropocene and its development geopolitically influences the future of humanity, considering that climate change has become a security issue.
