As Robert Toovey Walker notes, the multidimensional catastrophe is going to happen in 2064. The main aim of an article is to justify the standpoint that environmental and climate changes are so much calamitous its force some mod-ifi cations of native educational system, in the direction of reinterpretated envi-ronmental ethics anew. The necessity eventuates from – experienced by us – an ecological-social collapse which has got a deeper moral strand and which char-acterises modern age, called Anthropocene. In this strand one is able to observe an ubiquitous lethargy and social indiff erence to happening catastrophe, as well as to the lack of systemwide, governmental activities, that could reduce for ex-ample emission of carbon dioxide, devastation of water ecosystems or deforest-ation of green areas. Present article endeavours to answer the question how to adjust traditional, deeply anthropocentric ethical thought in order to safe next generations against some consequences of an actual lack of climate responsibil-ity as well as a lack of cross-generational and interspecies equity.
