Resignificance of sustainability in a context of climate change

Abstract

This article intends to reflect on the importance of a permanent
resignificance of sustainability. Based on a conventional definition
of sustainability and a critical perspective, the present article
puts into consideration meaning of sustainability in permanent
transformation. This proposal arises from the different forms of
social representation that respond to the urgent needs of resistance
from different social groups organized, in a clear defense
of their cultural identity and decision rights on their territories.
From a thorough review of cases of experiences of community
self-management in Mexico, the article suggests a permanent
process of resignificance of sustainability, not without social
tension and political struggle in a context of climate change.
