Sommario/riassunto

There is an increasing consensus in the scientific community that climate change is a real and present threat. Despite the large uncertainty on the timing, magnitude and even the direction of some of the physical and economic effects of this phenomenon, it is widely



accepted that the differences are regional and that developing countries as well as lower income populations tend to suffer the most. In this context, it is critical for Latin American countries to develop strategies for adapting to the various impacts of climate change, and for contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigation.Cl

Sommario/riassunto

Hay una vertiente en la historia del pensamiento occidental formada por aquellos que a partir de la ilustración empezaron a lanzar argumentos, e incluso improperios, contra el mundo moderno. Principalmente desde los siglos XVIII y XIX, varios pensadores elaboraron doctrinas basadas en formas intuitivas, vitalistas y naturalistas con un carácter anti o contra racionalista, que en alguna medida eran próximas al mito en la manera de acercarse al conocimiento.
