In the face of climate change and uncertainty, this book delves into the development and significance of an Earth-oriented progressive approach to fostering global well-being and inclusive societies. Developing Earthly Attachments in the Anthropocene explores how the Earth has emerged as a focal point for political, social, and cultural theory in the context of global climate change. It sheds light on how the Earth contributes to the creation of a regenerative culture, drawing examples from the Netherlands and Iceland. These examples offer valuable insights into how legacies of non-respectful exploitative practices, culminating in the rapid post-war growth of global consumption, have impacted the ecosystem, highlighting the challenges of coexisting with our planet Earth.

The book familiarizes readers with the implied agencies of the Earth that become evident in our reliance on the carbon economy, a factor of modern-day globalized capitalism responsible for global environmental change and emergencies. It also suggests ways to inspire and develop new ways of spatial sense-making for individuals seeking earthly attachments.

Offering novel theoretical and practical insights for politically active individuals, this book appeals to those involved in local and national policy-making processes. It also holds interest for academics and students of geography, political science, and environmental sciences.
