This research investigates how the interdisciplinary concept of the Anthropocene is being incorporated into international policy to address concerns with possibilities for our global future. This is done through an analysis of key documents by the UNDP, which has been using this concept over the last few years to orient a reformulation of its Human Development strategies. In a scenario of intense global crises, the Anthropocene has been gaining space in International Relations theory as a diagnosis of the unsustainability of current social, political and economic arrangements; and a theoretical start point for reconstruction efforts. Through discussions around the Anthropocene, multiple points are being advanced by IR scholars: from the idea that there needs to be a shift in cosmological visions, to the idea that natural entities such as forests should be determined as actors in international decision-making arenas. This thesis aims to complement that literature by bringing into the discussion the programmatic and policy shifts already being pointed to by a relevant international actor. With that, I intend to collaborate to make this theoretical discussion more robust, and hopefully also point to possible directions that international policy could follow in the incorporation of Anthropocenic concerns with the sustainability of life in the planet.
