Book : "The Netherlands for the optimized Anthropocene"

1275, the year Amsterdam was first named for a tax, after decades of draining swamps to establish the harbor. 1933, inauguration of the Afsluitdijk, that allowed the creation of the Flevoland artificial province. 1986, Queen Beatrix inaugured the Oosterscheldekering. The Netherlands has a long history in building their own country and in developing technical solutions to prevent natural disasters.

The Climate bifurcation due to Human activities, and the profound changes in soils, oceans and biodiversity have opened a new Epoch. Getting out of this negative Anthropocene Epoch will need a huge intellectual and scientific progression. The Nature idealization, the hope in CO2 emissions stopped by an International Agreement, an easy adaptation to the Climate change effects, responses provided by the romantic ecologists are insufficient to avoid disasters produced by Homo Sapiens, and to deal with cataclysms that "Mother Nature" releases.

The Netherlands through its very particularly relationship with Nature, could offer solutions to redirect the current corrosive Anthropocene. Beyond, the movement to limit and correct the Human activities negative consequences, must also strongly optimize the Human life conditions.

In the fall of 1988, Queen Beatrix advocated for the Earth's defense in two famous speeches.

In November 1989, some days before the Berlin wall falling, the Netherlands had organized an International Climate Conference in Noordwijk, which already revealed the opponents to a CO2 emissions reduction. This book includes documents from these political events, and the proposal to launch an Anthropocene Center in The Netherlands.

The current intellectual and scientific boiling to stop Climate change must also be a will for more Human sovereignty, an approach aimed at optimizing the Contract to be built with Nature.
