RODRIGUEZ PEREZ DE AGREDA, Gabriel M.; CABALE MIRANDA, Elizabeth    DEROY DOMINGUEZ, Dania. Economic growth as a model of social development and its relation with the climate change. []. , 9, 18, pp.275-286. ISSN 1390-8618.  https://doi.org/10.17163/ret.n18.2019.06.

The present article analyses how critical thinking addresses the complex relationships between economic growth, as a model of prevailing social development and climate change. In this sense, climate change is presented as the most important global change facing humanity, and where despite the measures adopted, even the possibility of disaster is real. Taking as reference the classics, he makes a brief analysis of the Capital-work relationship. It provides a look at a projection horizon, where, together with the essential mitigation and adaptation measures to climate change, others associated with human emancipation are assumed. Likewise, from the analysis of some of the normative documents of recent years, an approach is made to the importance of education as an essential factor in stopping this process. It takes a critical look and questions the different solutions or proposals related to climate change. At the end, the need for a change in this model of relationships, fundamentally between the human being and nature, to achieve total emancipation is appreciated. In addition, education is proposed as one of the most important tools as a factor of change and where the human being must be an active part of this process of change.
