Dada la urgencia de comprometer a las ciencias sociales con la investigación sobre el cambio ambiental global, el Consejo Internacional de Ciencias Sociales diseñó en el 2011 el “Proyecto de Diseño para el Cambio Ambiental Climático y Global”, con el fin de promover la producción de conocimiento que pueda ayudar a resolver las crisis asociadas al cambio climático en el desarrollo de iniciativas inter- y trans-disciplinares. Este artículo expone un marco de conocimiento para la agenda del proyecto que el Consejo ha denominado “piedras angulares transformativas” y que pretende identificar los objetivos prioritarios para comprender los procesos del cambio ambiental global como procesos sociales y efectuar una transformación deliberada en las políticas, instituciones, infraestructuras, prácticas y estilos de vida. Se propende por una alianza entre las ciencias naturales y las sociales para que el cambio ambiental esté en el centro de las preocupaciones de estas últimas y para que haya esfuerzos globales que mejoren el bienestar humano.
Given the urgency to compromise the social sciences with the research on global environmental change, the International Social Science Council designed in 2011 the “Climate and Global Environmental Change Design Project” to promote the production of knowledge that may help resolve the crisis associated to climate change in the development of inter and trans-disciplinary initiatives. This article presents a frame of knowledge for the agenda of the project, which the Council has titled “Transformative Cornerstones” that aims to identify the priority objectives to understand the process of global environmental change as social processes and to carry out a deliberate transformation on the policies, institutions, infrastructure, practices and lifestyles. It seeks an alliance between the natural and social sciences to put global environmental change at the center of the concerns of the social sciences and to promote global efforts to improve human wellbeing.
