The Anthropocene epoch has underscored the interconnectedness of planetary systems and human activities, demanding innovative legal frameworks to address global challenges. Earth System Law (ESL) emerges as an interdisciplinary approach that integrates environmental science, socio-economic systems, and legal principles to govern the Earth system holistically. This article explores the conceptual foundations of ESL, its principles, and practical implications for governance in the Anthropocene. It argues for the reimagining of legal systems to align with Earth’s ecological limits, highlighting the need for transdisciplinary collaboration and adaptive governance structures.
