The environmental dimension of development: implications beyond its technical and administrative management within a context of climate change.

Heitor Marcos Kirsch, Eduardo Ernesto Filippi

Abstract


This article aims to explore the implications underlying the interpretations of the ability to coping or adaptation of the companies and / or individuals that increasingly is rated as one of the most important challenges facing society and to humanity, what are the eff ects caused by global climate change. Th e institutionally dominant discourse about this phenomenon focuses its approach to a perspective where the physical eff ects on the environment are taken as an imbalance and whose risks, eff ects and impacts can be technically managed or administered. Th e construction and implications of this approach on the notion of development are analyzed by the authors in a literature review, showing that the incorporation of the concept of vulnerability should be linked to the social dimension and therefore, understood as a matter of human security and the right to access to assets. From these epistemological.
