Geoethics tries to overcome this fragmentation, presenting Earth sciences as the foundation of responsible human action toward the planet. It is impossible to respond to global problems with disconnected local actions, which cannot be proposed as standard and effective operational models. The scientific perspective must be structured to help different human contexts while respecting social and cultural diversity. Solid scientific knowledge and a philosophical reference framework are crucial to face the current ecological disruption. Geoethics identifies and orients responsible behaviors and actions in the management of natural processes, redefining the human interaction with the Earth system based on a critical, scientifically grounded, and pragmatic approach. This book outlines the current development of geoethical thinking, proposing to the general public reflections and categories useful for understanding the ethical, cultural, and societal dimensions of anthropogenic global changes.
