Abstract: What does it mean to inhabit the planet today? This volume addresses the question by bringing into dialogue diverse fields of knowledge and forms of expression: from environmental sciences to law, from mathematics to the social sciences, from philosophy to literature. Organized into three sections – ethical, cultural and literary frameworks; tools and governance for the sustainability of territories; and the role of universities and research – the volume offers a transdisciplinary perspective on climate change as at once a scientific, political, and symbolic issue. The territory is conceived as both a site of crisis and a space of experimentation, where relationships between humans, non-humans, and technology are being reconfigured. The essays explore not only risks and transformations, but also possible responses: sustainable models, strategies for mitigation and adaptation, practices of cohabitation, and new forms of awareness. Ultimately, the volume invites readers to rethink ecological transition as a cultural and social process, as well as a technical one, grounded in shared responsibility and intergenerational justice.
