Abstract

In June 2021, emeritus professor at the University of British Columbia and a member of the Club of Rome, William E. Rees —the author of the ecological footprint concept— presented the conference “The Enigma of Climate Inaction,” which has been widely discussed. In this essay we join that discussion and, consequently, we present our point of view about the reasons that have led humanity to the situation in which it is trapped and from which, unfortunately, it seems it will not be able to escape. We end the text, however, proposing some alternative solutions to the socio-environmental crisis coming from the teachings of some indigenous peoples.
