Long abstractClimate change, spectacular in its scale and force, is the cu-mulative result of intertwined human and non-human agen-cies. It is perhaps the most profound expression of the earth’s agency—the capacity of this world to act, to show its power in all our lives. The Anthropocene throws us a particular challenge to acknowledge those ecological connections that sustain our existence. We live within networks, webs, and relationships with non-human (or more-than-human) others, including plants, animals, rivers and soils. We rely on each other for food and fresh water. We are co-participants in what is happening and what will happen next. In southeast Australia where I live, we are told to expect hotter tempera-tures of longer duration, and more dramatic rain events—a combination that further extends the variability of our flood and drought cycles. In this already hot and arid country, where fresh water so clearly gives life, such changes will touch all.
