Abstract

Die Europäische Union (EU) gilt weithin als "Vorreiter" in der globalen Umweltpolitik. In den letzten vierzig Jahren hat sie schrittweise ein Korpus aus primärem / sekundärem Umweltrecht übernommen, das es ihr ermöglicht, zum stärksten regionalen Umweltschutzregime der Welt zu werden. Als globaler Akteur versucht die EU, diesen Acquis zu exportieren, und folgt dabei einem Mainstreaming-Ansatz, der prinzipiell die Aufmerksamkeit auf den Schutz der nichtmenschlichen Natur in all ihren externen Handlungen erfordert. Dieses Kapitel konzentriert sich auf drei Bereiche, die für die Bekämpfung der Ursachen des Anthropozäns von zentraler Bedeutung sind: außenpolitisches Handeln der EU zur Eindämmung des Klimawandels, Eindämmung des Verlusts der Artenvielfalt und Steuerung der Arktis als bedeutendem Schauplatz von Umweltzerstörungsprozessen. Das Kapitel stellt fest, dass die Diplomatie der EU in erster Linie eine "reformistische" Gerechtigkeitsagenda verfolgt, die darauf abzielt, die nichtmenschliche Natur besser zu "managen".

Fußnoten
1
The literature on ‘planetary boundaries’ does not advocate NHN protection for the sake of NHN, but is fundamentally anthropocentric, as the boundaries it identifies delimit the safe operating space for humanity on this planet. This chapter is agnostic about the motivation for pursuing the protection of NHN, whether they are anthropo- or NHN-centric. What it is interested in is whether protection measures are pursued and effective.
 
2
The status quo position largely corresponds to an understanding of justice also held by ‘Ecomodernists’, who desire to ‘use humanity’s extraordinary powers in service of creating a good Anthropocene’ (Ecomodernism 2019).
 
3
The central reliance on technology as the solution to any potential challenge arising from NHN is characteristic of the status quo justice position (and ecomodernism). At the same time, adherents of the reformist and transformational justice perspectives also seek to develop and manage technologies (e.g. renewable energy technologies) in pursuit of (environmental) justice-related goals.
