RIQUITO, Mariana. Beyond the master narrative of 'green' modernity: a critical reading of the energy transition. []. , 79, pp.25-36.   31--2023. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2023.79a03.

This article reflects critically on the dominant narrative on the climate crisis and its energy transition programmes. The energy transition has been reproducing the structures of the contemporary capitalist system, namely its extractive technological and financial apparatuses. Inspired by critical perspectives that challenge the dichotomous divisions perpetuated by the hegemonic ontological framework, I argue that in order to face the ecological crisis, we must adopt practices based on non-dualistic ontologies and that recognise the deep and close relationships of (inter)dependence that sustain life on Earth.
