Living with climate change. The challenge of a new cultural change

Abstract

The scientific community has reached an ample consensus about the existence of climate change and its causes; one of the most extensive in the history of science. Scientists agree that the Earth is heating up, primarily as a consequence of human action, which causes drastic global changes: a rise in the sea level, increased frequency and force of heat waves, droughts, and other extreme weather events. These changes have consequences for living beings, including people’s health. That is the reason why science warns of the need to take measures to mitigate its effects and adapt life to a different world.
