Where does solastalgia come from?
Solastalgia was coined by Australian environmental philosopher Glenn A. Albrecht in the early 2000s.I define “solastalgia” as the pain or distress caused by the ongoing loss of solace and the sense of desolation connected to the present state of one’s home and territory. It is the existential and lived experience of negative environmental change, manifest as an attack on one’s sense of place.
—Glenn A. Albrecht, Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World, 2019
Another term, solastalgia (combining solace, desolation, and nostalgia), speaks to the pain and distress caused when your homeland is destroyed but you are not necessarily displaced. In other words, you yearn for what your home was before it was desecrated by mining, logging, fracking, military testing, or oil spills; it is feeling homesick when you are still at home.

For the Inuit in the Arctic, solastalgia is a daily reality. As the ice melts and the permafrost thaws, their way of life is disappearing. “The land is part of who we are,” says Nuka, a 60-year-old Inuit elder. “When the ice goes, it feels like a part of us is dying.”
