Resumen
El artículo tiene por objetivo precisar la naturaleza causal del cambio climático y sus implicaciones para la vida humana en el futuro. Se reconoce el papel de los seres humanos en la generación de un efecto invernadero más intenso, lo que provoca un desequilibrio del sistema climático. Para el efecto, se revisó literatura especializada y reciente sobre el tema con el fin de detectar la trascendencia de este cambio ambiental en la vida las personas. Las dimensiones más intensamente afectadas apuntan a aspectos vitales como la disponibilidad de agua, la producción de alimentos, la conflictividad social y política a nivel nacional e internacional, el aumento del número de refugiados ambientales, el incremento de la pobreza y la desigualdad, entre otros. Este desfavorable escenario precisa un replanteamiento del modelo de desarrollo actual, el que deberá estar encuadrado en estrategias de adaptación a nuevas condiciones y peligros ambientales. En suma, el nuevo desarrollo deberá centrarse en un proceso deliberado de adaptación que permita hacer sustentable la vida humana de todos los seres humanos, sin distinción.
Palabras Clave: Cambio climático, adaptación, vulnerabilidad, desarrollo, conflictos socioambientales.
Abstract
This article aims to clarify the causal nature of climate change and its implications for human life in the future. It recognizes and demonstrates the role the humans in the generating a stronger greenhouse effect, causing an imbalance in the climate system. For this purpose was reviewed and recent literature on the subject in order to detect significance of this environmental change in the lives of people. The dimensions suggest strongly affected vital aspects such as water availability, food production, social unrest and political national and international level, the increasing number of environmental refugees, increasing poverty and inequality, among others. This unfavorable scenario requires a rethinking of the current development model, which should be framed in strategies to adapt to new conditions end environmental hazards. In short, the new development should focus on a deliberate process of adaptation that would enable sustainable life for all human beings without distinction.
Key words: Climatic change, adaptation, vulnerability, development, socio environmental conflicts.
