alterações climáticas, sustentabilidade, biodiversidadeResumo
No século XXI, as injustiças socio-ecológicas continuam a persistir. Pior ainda: são agravadas pela manutenção de práticas industriais insustentáveis, pela inércia política e por estruturas económicas que dão prioridade aos ganhos de capital a curto prazo em detrimento da sobrevivência a longo prazo do nosso planeta. Como resultado, vivemos atualmente uma época marcada por crises ambientais sem precedentes: alterações climáticas, perda de biodiversidade, poluição atmosférica, desflorestação, subida do nível do mar, etc., que apenas contribuem para aumentar as desigualdades socioeconómicas. Neste contexto, tem havido um apelo crescente por parte de certos sectores da sociedade - como académicos, activistas, organizações comunitárias, povos indígenas e cidadãos preocupados - para que se reavaliem urgentemente as formas como lutamos pela sustentabilidade.Referências
