La COP21 de Paris combina top-down (compromisos de seguimiento y verificación) y bottom-up, (contenidos en las INDC). ¿La energía nuclear formar parte estas contribuciones o Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC)? La diferencia más relevante entre la COP21 y la COP15, entre la cumbre de Paris y de Copenhague, es que hoy se ha superado los acuerdos basados en una "distribución justa de las cargas" (burden sharing). En la COP20 de Lima se hizo un llamamiento en favor de la "Acción por el Clima". Los objetivos ambiciosos en lugar de penalizar con pérdida de competitividad son oportunidades. Eso gracias a la caída de costes de las energías renovables. En el tren de la transición energética parece que querer subirse la energía nuclear, con una puesta en escena en la COP21.

La crisis sanitaria producida por el SARS-CoV-2 se ha manejado con enfoques demasiado estrechos. Las líneas de intervención impulsadas por los gobiernos han sido guiadas por especialistas de enfermedades infecciosas y virólogos. Estas se han centrado en cortar las líneas de transmisión para controlar la propagación del virus. Se trata de medidas que se enmarcan en las pestes centenarias. Un enfoque más amplio apunta, en lugar de culpar a los murciélagos, a buscar el origen del COVID-19 en el deterioro de los ecosistemas: los patógenos buscan nuevos huéspedes generando las enfermedades zoonóticas. Consideramos que este enfoque sigue siendo demasiado limitado. En el COVID-19 interactúan el SARS-CoV-2 y una serie de enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT); por esta razón, esto no es una pandemia sino una sindemia. En ella interactúan la biología, las desigualdades sociales y el deterioro ambiental. Este enfoque nos permite analizar la crisis civilizatoria y el urgente cambio de paradigma.

En el camino entrecruzado de educar y resiliar se halla la clave para construir un nuevo humanismo digital que contrarreste el capitalismo cognitivo característico de la era de la inteligencia artificial. Para impedir el jaque mate digital del capitalismo de la vigilancia es necesario enseñar y aprender a resiliar para revindicar el derecho a la toma de decisiones para afrontar este mundo incomprensible, el derecho al tiempo futuro para gozar de una vida humana entendida como crisol de posibilidades, y el derecho al bien común para ampliar la comunidad al conjunto de lo humano presente y futuro. También necesitamos transitar de la educación extractiva a la educación emancipadora fundamentada en una educación resiliente que nos proporcione perspectiva crítica, reflexiva y de inventiva que generen compromiso social y ciudadanía democrática; y así podamos avanzar hacia una nueva cultura de la compasión, del amor y el servicio más que nunca. ; On the intersecting path of educating and promote resilience lies the key to building a new digital humanism that counteracts the cognitive capitalism characteristic of the age of artificial intelligence. To prevent the digital checkmate of surveillance capitalism, it is necessary to teach and learn to promote resilience to vindicate the right to make decisions to face this incomprehensible world, the right to the future time to enjoy a human life understood as a melting pot of possibilities, and the right to the common good to expand the community to the whole of the present and future human. We also need to move from extractive education to emancipatory education based on a resilient education that provides us with a critical, reflective, and inventive perspective that generates social commitment and democratic citizenship; and so, we can move towards a new culture of compassion, love, and service more than ever.

This paper identifies the diverse and different aspects of the political and sociological concept of Climate Justice, starting from the climate as a common and global good, and from the socio-political context of climate change as an issue that has to do with a democratic citizenship. It connects with its origin in Environmental Justice, as well as with the broader agenda of sustainable development that passes through the abandonment of fossil fuels. We then turn to the question of common but differentiated responsibility in the fight against climate change, as well as its multi-faceted and multi-scale nature. All this concludes in the connection of climate justice with a strong sustainable development that results in a new paradigm of Just Sustainability as a more integral proposal for the development of societies. ; En este artículo se identifican los diversos y diferentes aspectos del concepto político y sociológico de Justicia Climática, partiendo del clima como bien común y global, y del contexto socio-político del cambio climático como asunto que tiene que ver con una ciudadanía democrática. Se conecta con su origen en la Justicia Ambiental, así como con la agenda más amplia del desarrollo sostenible, que pasa por el abandono de los combustibles fósiles. Pasamos entonces a abordar la cuestión de la responsabilidad común pero diferenciada en la lucha contra el cambio climático, así como su naturaleza multifacética y multiescala. Todo ello concluye en la conexión de la justicia climática con un desarrollo sostenible fuerte, que dé como resultado un nuevo paradigma de Sostenibilidad Justa como propuesta más integral del desarrollo de las sociedades.

Cities are key actors in the fight against climate change since they are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while at the same time they experience the negative impact of this phenomenon. Mitigating and adapting to climate change requires fundamental changes in urbanism and city automobile traffic. Superblocks, a grid of blocks and basic roads forming a polygon, approximately 400 by 400 m, are one of the instruments for such changes. These type of city Superblocks represent a new model of mobility that restructures the typical urban road network, thereby substantially reducing automobile traffic, and accordingly GHG emissions, while increasing green space in the city and improving the health and quality of life of its inhabitants. Furthermore, the Superblocks do not require investment in hard infrastructures, nor do they involve demolishing buildings or undertaking massive development; they are in fact very low-tech urbanism. The city of Barcelona has been implementing Superblocks as one of the measures to combat climate change with very positive results. The paper analyzes the concept of the Superblock and its relation with climate change in cities. Along these lines, it analyzes the pioneer experience of Barcelona in the development and implementation of the Superblocks, as a radical plan aimed at taking back the streets from cars. The role of political power and institutional leadership has been key in societal acceptance and the achievement of tangible results. But there are also obstacles and drawbacks in the development of these types of Superblocks, such as the necessity to redesign the collective transport network so that car traffic can truly be reduced in cities, the possible negative influence on traffic going in and out of the city, the lack of visible advantages if they are not implemented in the entire city, the risk of gentrification in the areas with Superblocks, public opposition, and opposition from certain sectors of the business community.
