Abstract(s)
Um estudo recente revela que os jovens sofrem de ansiedade climática e sentem-se traídos pelas gerações mais velhas, a quem acusam de não terem sabido preservar o bom funcionamento do sistema-Terra. Os coletivos em torno dos quais estes jovens se organizam alegam que se encontram esgotadas todas as vias de comunicação com os detentores do poder. Por essa razão, o ativismo climático protagonizado pelas gerações mais jovens tem-se intensificado um pouco por todo o mundo, mas com uma incidência especial nos países democráticos do espaço europeu, e destes, da União Europeia. Os alvos dos ativistas do clima são os agentes políticos e económicos, acusados de inação climática. Tudo leva a crer que os detentores do poder conhecem os danos que o atual modelo de desenvolvimento económico está a causar ao bom funcionamento do planeta, mas apesar desse conhecimento agem contra o seu melhor julgamento do que é correto, numa atitude que poderá ser classificada como de acrasia coletiva. As ações dos ativistas são empreendidas em duas frentes de batalha: a dos tribunais e a das ruas: nos tribunais, através do recurso às mais altas instâncias judiciais; nas ruas, por meio de ações de desobediência civil. Os protestos de rua realizados no espaço europeu têm merecido dos Estados uma resposta inadequada e desproporcional, na qual são usados meios de vigilância e repressão de combate ao terrorismo e às organizações criminosas. Neste contexto, é essencial que se reflita sobre as caraterísticas do conceito de desobediência civil em regimes democráticos liberais, principalmente a questão sensível da não-violência. Nesta investigação utilizou-se o método da pesquisa bibliográfica pela leitura, interpretação, reflexão e crítica de livros e artigos científicos dos principais autores dos assuntos tratados.
A recent study reveals that young people suffer from climate anxiety and feel betrayed by older generations, whom they accuse of failing to preserve the proper functioning of the Earth system. The collectives around whom these young people organize claim that all communication channels with those in power are exhausted. For this reason, climate activism led by younger generations has intensified worldwide, with a particular focus on democratic countries within the European space, and among these, the European Union. The targets of climate activists are political and economic agents, accused of climate inaction. It appears that those in power are aware of the damage that the current model of economic development is causing to the proper functioning of the planet, but despite this knowledge, they act against their better judgment of what is right, in an attitude that could be classified as collective akrasia. Activists' actions are carried out on two fronts: the courts and the streets; in the courts, by resorting to the highest judicial authorities; in the streets, through acts of civil disobedience. Street protests in the European space have elicited an inadequate and disproportionate response from the states, involving the use of surveillance and repression measures designed to combat terrorism and criminal organizations. In this context, it is essential to reflect on the characteristics of the concept of civil disobedience in liberal democratic regimes, especially the sensitive issue of non-violence. In this research, the bibliographic research method was used through the reading, interpretation, reflection, and critique of books and scientific articles by the leading authors on the topics addressed.
