Local Responses to a Global Crisis: Indigenous Peoples, Civil Society and Transdisciplinarity to Face Climate Change.

Social science has positioned climate change at the centre of its research agenda. The limited success of hegemonic responses and the advance of impacts have strengthened the emergence of non–state actors. However, their role remains underexplored, especially in Latin America.

Non–State actors’ responses must be taken into more significant consideration. In addition to strengthening democracy, the partici-pation of non–State actors has the potential to promote the transformations needed to respond justly to climate change
