Techno-climatic glossary for orientation in an uncertain era

Abstract

The “Techno-Climate Glossary” is a collaborative work that compiles entries addressing fundamental concepts for exploring the intersection between technology and climate crisis. Each entry is presented in a concise manner, establishing key points on the following terms: “Digital Activism”, “Climate Disruption”, “Anthropocene”, “Atmosphere”, “Dynamics of Social Inflection”, “Gaia”, “Geosymbiosis”, “Progress”, “Sustainability”, “Local Technologies”, “Risk Transfer” and “Socio-ecological Just Transition”. This glossary not only clarifies concepts, but also questions conventional meanings, proposing new interpretations. It is framed as an effort to understand how technology shapes and is shaped by the climate crisis, and is an essential tool for entering contemporary debates on this intersection.
