The sociocultural constructions of nature and environment: preliminary outcomes of a systematic literature review

Publication . Vidal, Diogo Guedes; Valentim, Cristina Sá; Freitas, Helena; Costa, Paulo Manuel; Alves, Fátima

The recognition of Nature and the Environment as sociocultural constructions is key to enhance a transformational socio-ecological change. That means understanding the production of their different socio-cultural meanings, how societies tackle them, and to what extent different understandings can condition the implementation of a deep socio-ecological change. To the authors' knowledge, no studies have systematized the evidence regarding this diversity of perceptions.
