Climate change has become one of the most important problems of a global society. This phenomenon represents a challenge of high complexity in the generation of proposals for its mitigation and adaptation; The Climate change dynamics and scales surpass the ecological aspects and place it in a social, political, economic, cultural and philosophical prism.

All this causes an exacerbation of the climate crisis.
