Description
Lucas Murrins Marques wrote this essay, published in 2026. It argues that the way societies measure resilience to climate change leaves out how people actually feel as their home environment changes around them.
Most resilience scores track roads, buildings, budgets, and institutions. Marques says they should also track shared emotional states that grow out of long contact with a changing place. Two states get the focus: solastalgia, the distress of watching a loved home degrade, and soliphilia, a caring drive to protect that place. The essay proposes using these states as gauges, as factors that shape outcomes, and as early warning signs inside current resilience frameworks. Feelings, the author argues, help decide whether adaptation efforts last.
