RESUMO
Considerando que as Alterações Climáticas (AC) – uma das cinco áreas-guia da Estratégia 2020 da Comissão Europeia – são
um problema global que requer respostas locais articuladas aos níveis
macro, meso e micro; e que a sua compreensão implica a
identificação das relações reciprocamente influentes entre a Natureza,
a Sociedade e a Cultura; qualquer intervenção – seja no
sentido da mitigação das AC, seja no sentido da adaptação às AC –
envolve necessariamente essa mesma sociedade, em toda a
complexidade das suas dimensões socioculturais e ambientais. Neste artigo, enquadrado pelas teorias compreensivas,
refletimos brevemente sobre algumas das inter-relações entre os
sistemas climáticos, ambientais e socioculturais e defendemos
que as racionalidades leigas, por se enraizarem em tipos e fontes de saber plurais, são um dos pilares para melhor se
compreender e lidar com o fenómeno das AC.
Palavras-chave: racionalidades leigas, alterações climáticas, capital social, saberes-poderes, sustentabilidade
ABSTRACT
Whereas Climate Change (CC) – one of the five prioritary areas of the
Strategy 2020 of the European Commission – is a global challenge
needing local responses, articulated at the macro, meso and micro
levels; and while its understanding entails identifying mutually
influential relationships between Nature, Society and Culture, any
intervention – either to mitigate or adapt to CC – necessarily involves
society itself, in the full complexity of its sociocultural and
environmental dimensions. In a world in the midst of a major
demographic transition, with a population expected to reach 9 billion
by 2050, issues like sustainability, resource use, scarcity and
sharing, have been interwoven in the international, regional and local
arenas. This
paper develops in the light of comprehensive theories. The
methodological procedures are based upon desk research and all the work
relies on the reflexive notion and today´s ubiquitous complexity. The
spirit of this pivotal approach is the interest in knowledge, curiosity
for different dimensions of knowledge and how it is (re)produced,
articulated and reflected in the
relationships of the individual human being, with itself, with other
human beings, with other living creatures and with the environment.
This papers argues that the lay rationalities, because they take root
in various types and sources of knowledge, are one of the pillars to
better understand and deal with the phenomenon of CC. Part one of this
paper makes a brief reference to ethical implications, preceded by a
succinct analysis of the key dynamics and processes, which are
considered responsible for the variability and climate change in a
diachronic perspective. Part two discusses some of the sustainability
issues, with a brief introduction to the pathways and strategies for
mitigating and adapting to CC, which have been outlined and lie ahead,
linking the global dimension to the local dimension, governments to
markets and to civil society. Finally, focusing on lay rationalities, a
brief approach is sought regarding the issues of reflexivity, social
capital and the ‘knowledge-power’ concept, keeping in mind that the
study of the social reality, which is complex in nature, is always a
(de)constructed exercise of dialectics between generalization and
specialization.
Keywords: lay rationalities, climate change, social capital, knowledge-power, sustainability.
