PENA-VEGA, Alfredo. THE AWARENESS OF UNCERTAINTY: THE CHALLENGES OF AN "EARTH-HOMELAND" POLICY. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2021, n.57, e20271.  Epub 05-Fev-2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n57.20271.

The main thesis presented in this article not only remains undeniably relevant but is now being presented more incisively, given the complex events we are witnessing: why does our future remain unpredictable? Can we predict anything in this unpredictability? Complexity and uncertainty are on the horizon. Therefore, our awareness lags behind events. There is a “crisis” - in the Hippocratic sense. After the first symptoms, it becomes clear that global society is sick, and the crisis could be conducive to the adoption of new methods. However, there is also the risk of the temptation of selfishness and solutions that turn communities and political spaces into themselves. The crisis of the ecological age is a crisis of our relationship with the biosphere. If we do not become aware of the effects of this situation, we risk heading progressively toward collective suicide. What crisis are we talking about? Of nature, of our relationship with nature and/or the environment, or simply an ecological crisis? "What we call an ecological [or environmental] crisis is the sudden awareness of more and more uncertainty" (LATOUR, 2010, p. 14).
