This contributed volume explores issues surrounding planetary awareness and its role in the Anthropocene, tackling interdisciplinary themes. The volume proposes a reflection on the way in which the natural, cultural and societal dimensions are intertwined. Through an approach that blends the human, social and natural sciences, it responds to the urgent need to rethink our relationship with the world at a time marked by global ecological and social crises. The book connects scientific knowledge with concrete cultural and social practices. The innovative nature of the book is reflected in its adoption of new methodological perspectives, such as the use of postcolonial and critical concepts to rethink the relationship between the human and the non-human. The authors also incorporate transformative approaches, such as critical imagination, to explore solutions to the challenges posed by the Anthropocene. From a scientific point of view, the book is based on solid, interdisciplinary research. The book emphasizes how global awareness is a central issue in education, in order to reinvent frameworks for collective and individual action. By linking these reflections to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, it offers an operational framework for transforming planetary ideals into concrete policies.
