Abstract(s)
As Alterações Climáticas são consideradas como um dos mais complexos desafios que
a humanidade enfrenta no Século XXI. A natureza e diversidade da ameaça conexa
impõe às sociedades uma agenda urgente e exigente, sobretudo no campo da agência. A
construção e condução das estratégias de combate, fazendo parte dessa agenda, pode ser
condicionada pelas perceções e práticas humanas na continua interinfluência dos
sistemas em presença: climático, ambiental e sociocultural. O fenómeno das alterações
climáticas, concomitantes, por um lado, com uma profunda revolução tecnológica/
científica, por outro, com mudanças sociais e económicas assentes num processo de
globalização a múltiplos níveis, decorre no macro cenário do empowerment individual
das pessoas, na sequência do qual os processos educativos assumem relevância
acrescida.
As gerações contemporâneas encontram-se sujeitas a processos de aquisição e
exposição a novos saberes, leigos e científicos, que as tornam distintas das suas
predecessoras. Sendo as mais educadas até hoje, são também as que se confrontarão
com os desafios e perigos anunciados. O nosso estudo, de cariz exploratório, utilizando metodologia quantitativa assente num
inquérito por questionário, procurou junto de um grupo de jovens nacionais, das coortes
etárias de 18 e 19 anos, pertencentes à geração Z, conhecer as suas perceções e práticas
em torno das alterações climáticas, no que se constitui o seu objetivo, indo
extensivamente no sentido de contribuir para o aprofundamento da reflexão sobre a
reconstrução e reconfiguração das racionalidades leigas que orientam a ação e a
interação no mundo da vida quotidiana produzindo sentidos holísticos face às alterações
climáticas.
Climate change is regarded as one of the most complex challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. The nature and diversity of related threat requires an urgent and demanding agenda to societies, especially in the field of Agency. The construction and conduct of combat strategies, as part of this agenda, may be conditioned by the perceptions and human practices in inter-influence with the present socio-cultural, environmental, and climate systems. The phenomenon of climate change, ongoing, on the one hand, with a deep technological/scientific revolution, on the other, with social and economic changes based on a process of globalization at multiple levels, runs on the macro scenario of individual people empowerment, where the educational processes assume increased relevance. Contemporary generations are subject to processes of acquisition and exposure to new knowledge, lay and scientific, which make them distinct from its predecessors. Characterized as the most educated until today, they are also those that confront the challenges and dangers announced. Our exploratory nature study uses quantitative methodology based on a survey. It was conducted among a group of national young age (cohorts of 18 and 19 years) people, belonging to generation Z, with the goal of produce some knowledge on the subject of their perceptions and practices about the climate change. It aims, extensively; contribute to deepening the reflection on the reconstruction and reconfiguration of lay rationalities, which guide the action and interaction in daily life, producing holistic directions address to the responses to climate change.
