Depuis la fin de la derni re p riode glaciaire, l'humanit a transform sa niche cologique, modifi sa position dans l' cosyst me, provoqu des changements climatiques radicaux et affect la diversit des esp ces aux quatre coins du monde, ce qui a entra n l'apparition d'une nouvelle poque g ologique, l'Anthropoc ne.
l' chelle plan taire, les activit s humaines exercent un impact direct sur les fronti res qu'elles transforment durablement alors que ces m mes fronti res ont constitu le cadre naturel dans lequel l'humanit a pu prosp rer durant les dix derniers mill naires. Les changements rapides qui affectent notre syst me terrestre remettent directement en cause les anciennes hypoth ses qui consid raient des fronti res stables comme le principal fondement de la souverainet . Aujourd'hui, ces postulats p rim s doivent imp rativement tre r valu s. Paradoxalement, la phase de mondialisation actuelle n cessite une red finition de la notion m me de fronti res stables. En effet, l' largissement des droits de propri t et des champs de comp tence pourrait en fait pr venir la mise en oeuvre de mesures d'adaptation efficaces visant r pondre aux enjeux du changement climatique. Garantir la survie d'une conomie fond e sur la consommation de combustibles fossiles demeure ce jour une priorit politique comme le fait de devoir faire face aux catastrophes naturelles l' chelle mondiale - ce qui rend les objectifs de durabilit d'autant plus difficiles atteindre dans un environnement en pleine mutation o les rivalit s politiques exacerb es fa onnent la politique globale contemporaine.
L'entr e de la Terre dans une nouvelle poque g ologique, l'Anthropoc ne (l' re de l'homme), repr sente un formidable d fi thique, qu'il convient de relever en tablissant une v ritable politique de durabilit , et ce, au moment o l'humanit s'engage dans la derni re phase du processus de mondialisation. Dans un tel contexte, pour tre r ellement efficaces, les connaissances et les perspectives r sultant des analyses acad miques et des initiatives pratiques de toute nature devront tre int gr es dans une vision globale.

Humanity has been scaling up its niche, changing the climate and the species mix around the world since the end of the last ice age and in the process generating a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene.
Human activities occurring on a global scale are now impacting and altering boundaries that constitute the conditions under which humanity has been able to flourish over the last ten thousand years. Rapid changes in the earth system mean that old assumptions of stable borders as the basis of sovereignty have to be reconsidered. Ironically, the current phase of globalization involves re-bordering many things, extending property and jurisdictions in numerous new ways that may actually prevent effective adaptation to climate change. Securing the fossil fuel economy remains a policy priority, as does trying to cope with disasters on a global scale--all of which makes sustainability more difficult as geopolitical rivalries shape contemporary global policy.
The Anthropocene is thus the new context for sustainability policy in the latest phase of globalization, and both academic analysis and practical initiatives will have to incorporate its insights if they are to be effective.
