An activist-oriented branch of posthumanism that combines ecological awareness with political commitment to environmental justice and sustainability. Green posthumanism argues that decentering the human is not just a philosophical exercise but a practical necessity for planetary survival. It challenges the anthropocentrism that drives climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental racism. Green posthumanism is posthumanism with a mission: to build a world where humans live within ecological limits, in partnership with other species, rather than at their expense.
Example: "She was an activist before she was a philosopher, fighting for climate justice, protecting ecosystems, defending endangered species. Green posthumanism gave her language for what she already knew: that human supremacy was killing the planet, and that decentering humans was the only way forward. The philosophy didn't change her work; it gave her work meaning."
