In the context of current climate change, the intensification of global warming and extreme events is a problem that is at once scientific, theoretical, political, economic, environmental and educational.

As much as political ecology allows us to understand new relations between humans and nature, it is only after the Anthropocene that these relations reach insurmountable limits, since human society is now recognized as a geological and structuring agent, confronted with the need for unavoidable transformations in its fossil, extractivist, polluter and unequal economic organization.

While science notes that the future of the human species (and other species) is in jeopardy, environmental policies need to establish new, indispensable values to respond to climate challenges. It becomes inevitable to reformulate what development, prosperity, abundance, freedom and justice mean.

Aiming to translate the climate problematic into research agendas for the Social Sciences, the OIMC team will bring together more than 20 internationally renowned researchers, among Brazilian and foreign specialists, to present the diversity of challenges and strategies needed to deal with the phenomenon, in five panels scheduled for the two days of the event.

Participants of the Anthropocene, Climate Change and Social Sciences in Brazil seminar will receive certificates of participation issued by the organization
