Environmental philosophy examines humanity's relationship with the natural world. It considers humanity's role in environmental changes and its responsibility to respond to challenges. Views range from anthropocentrism, which sees humans as the central cause of changes, to deep ecology, which emphasizes humanity's interdependence with all living things. Environmental ethics emerged to advocate humanity's moral duty to preserve nature for its intrinsic value and humanity's long term survival. Philosophical perspectives influence environmental action, policy, and international cooperation to address issues like climate change and pollution.
