TEDxCanberra - Will Steffen - The Anthropocene

TEDxTalks

Executive Director of the Australian National University's Climate Change Institute, Professor Will Steffen, takes us on a journey through the science measuring humanity's effect on the planet. Using tangible, real measures, Will shows us the profound change in the planet since the Industrial Revolution and argues that now, more than at any other time, humanity is the single most influential factor in global changes; so much so that we should recognise that now is the age of mankind - The Anthropocene.

Welcome to the Anthropocene

'Welcome to the Anthropocene' with Portuguese subtitles : https://vimeo.com/44205213

In June 2012, "Welcome to the Anthropocene"- a film about the state of the planet- opened the UN's Rio+20 summit on sustainable development. The summit was the largest UN meeting to date.

A 3-minute journey through the last 250 years of our history, from the start of the Industrial Revolution to the Rio+20 Summit. The film charts the growth of humanity into a global force on an equivalent scale to major geological processes.

The film was commissioned by the Planet Under Pressure conference, London 26-29 March, a major international conference focusing on solutions.
