Presentation 1. Inclusive Korea in the Anthropocene - Governing Environmental and Humanitarian Crises in a Global Age
Michael Douglass Emeritus Professor, University of Hawaii
□ The advent of the Anthropocene generates compounding crises both for the environment and human settlement of our planet.
○ Most governments are fortifying borders against the portent of climate change migration, which causes a profound humanitarian crisis that raises issues of inclusion to unchartered levels of policymaking.
□ In the Anthropocene, inclusion is both a moral imperative for an international system based on national sovereignty and a potentially powerful source of sustaining society and the environment within and among nations.
○ The overarching question of how humankind can join together through strategies of inclusion cannot be answered by national governments alone, and it requires access to the means for achieving distributive justice.
○ With regard to international migration, governments aiming toward inclusive societies will need to reconsider environmental and economic migration distinctions.
○ Achieving successful inclusive society will depend on capacities to scale up from city to nation and the international arena.
