Description
Summary:In this context, the human dimension is a relevant element to assess how beliefs, values and practices influence people's behavior in the face of climate change. The communities are located in rural areas, but most of them are made up of people from urban centers. [...]they involve internal migration processes to realize a communitarian utopia in favor of the planet. [...]to the theory of minority social influence, which in its most classic version resorts to immediate interindividual relationships, we observe that the CIEs studied are constituted as such in a longer historical process. [...]they are not limited to the number of participants, but to their peripheral position, in terms of the responses that, at a given historical moment, are dominant with respect to a social order that exploits nature.
