地球伦理学不仅仅是一种职业道德。最初，它是在地球科学的背景下制定的，以提高地球科学家对其文化和社会作用的认识，但随着时间的推移，它扩大到确定一种方式，使人类能够根据能够在尊重地球生态系统的情况下提供健康和安全生活的原则和价值观，重新思考他们与地球系统的关系。地球伦理学的理论框架现已得到巩固，它已成为新千年全球伦理学的基础。本章概述了地球伦理学发展的科学和文化参考框架;地球伦理学的理论基础及其主要特点;地球伦理学视角下的全球人类问题;与人类两种潜在活动有关的伦理和社会问题，这两种活动分别是：应对全球变暖（地球工程）;满足对地球资源日益增长的需求（深海/海洋采矿）。作者强调了全球人类社区分享价值观和行动以管理全球变化和威胁的重要性。人们不禁要问，SARS-CoV-2大流行是否可以暗示或证实对地理伦理思想的反思。最后，提出了一个以九项原则和行动阐明的负责任的人类发展进程宪章。
Abstract Geoethics is not simply professional ethics. Originally, it was developed in the context of geosciences to increase the awareness of geoscientists to their cultural and social role, but over time expanded to define a way in which humans can rethink their relationship with the Earth system in the light of principles and values that can provide a healthy and safe life in respect for geo-ecosystems. The theoretical framework of geoethics has now consolidated, and it has become the proposal on which to base a global ethics for the new millennium. This chapter outlines the scientific and cultural reference framework in which geoethics developed; the theoretical foundations of geoethics and its main characteristics; global anthropogenic issues under a geoethical perspective; ethical and social aspects related to two potential human activities respectively to combat global warming (geoengineering); and to provide for the growing demand for georesources (deep-sea/ocean mining). The authors highlight the importance of sharing values and actions among planetary human communities to manage global changes and threats. One wonders if the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic can suggest or confirm reflections on geoethical thinking. Finally, a charter for a responsible course of human development, articulated in nine principles and actions, is proposed.
