participação juvenil, planos de adaptação climática, diálogos baseados na comunidade, política climática localResumo
A adaptação climática local requer um alinhamento entre o nível retórico-político e o nível experiencial, da vida real, particularmente no que diz respeito aos grupos que mais serão afectados pela crise climática, como os jovens. Este artigo explora esta questão em dois níveis:
i) como os jovens são falados e representados nos discursos políticos normativos dos planos regionais climáticos e ii) como os jovens falam e se fazem ouvir nos diálogos com atores-chave das suas comunidades. Em primeiro lugar, foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo dos Planos de Adaptação Climática de 8 regiões do Norte de Portugal. Em segundo lugar, foi conduzida uma análise temática das notas de observação de 8 ‘laboratórios climáticos colaborativos’ nessas regiões. Os resultados mostram que os discursos político-normativos atribuem sobretudo papéis passivos e vulneráveis aos jovens, negligenciando-os na conceção e implementação de medidas de adaptação. No entanto, quando lhes é dada a oportunidade de participar em debates relacionados com o clima, os jovens revelam-se empenhados em esforços de colaboração para encontrar soluções para os seus territórios, apesar de enfrentarem atitudes adultas condescendentes.
