Toward a Fair Ecosocial Transition

This study is part of an effort to recognize the multiple interconnected crises—social, political, economic, and environmental—that expose the contradictions of neoliberal capitalism. It aims to analyze critically the just ecological transition from Latin America, guided by the principles of sustainable living and the ethics of care, as an alternative to modern-colonial structures based on linear progress and infinite accumulation. Methodologically, it employs a dialogical and transdisciplinary approach grounded in bibliographic and documentary research. Among the main results, the need to reconfigure human rights, especially the right to life, stands out, incorporating the interdependence between human beings and nature. The climate emergency demands that we overcome the epistemologies of the Global North and adopt principles such as ecological justice and care. The study concludes that the civilizational crisis needs structural and epistemic transformations, proposing the concept of biocivilization as an integration between human rights, the rights of nature, and new social organizations founded on ecological balance, justice, and diversity. The originality of the work lies in its decolonial perspective, which articulates knowledge from the Global South with ethical-ecological principles to propose alternative futures centered on life
