Abstract
In the Anthropocene period, justice is an urgent issue that necessitates a multifaceted strategy that
tackles the numerous facets of social and environmental injustice. The Anthropocene epoch has
resulted in enormous changes in the natural world, and the pursuit of justice must consider the
intricacies of this new epoch. Degrowth, postcolonialism, and solidarity politics are crucial notions
that might help us comprehend justice in the Anthropocene. For sustainability and social fairness,
degrowth emphasizes lowering consumption and output. Postcolonialism exposes the continuous
exploitation of underprivileged groups and emphasizes the need for equal resource allocation.
Solidarity politics acknowledge community interconnectedness and the need for collective action in
attaining justice. This essay focuses on the subject of social justice in the Anthropocene era. This
essay uses the book's analysis techniques to investigate these ideas from the perspective of justice
in the Anthropocene. The study's findings highlight the critical role that degrowth, postcolonialism,
and solidarity-based politics may play in creating equity of justice for everyone. Investigating these
subjects in creating a more egalitarian and sustainable society was emphasized in this essay.
Keywords: Anthropocene, social justice, postcolonialism, degrowth
