Diálogos Socioambientais

This 21st issue of the journal Diálogos Socioambientais aims to articulate scientific, popular, and community knowledge that mobilizes the reader to move beyond information and into action, an invitation to build collective and interdisciplinary responses to the plastics crisis. To achieve this goal, articles have been brought together that address the plastics crisis from different fields of knowledge and practical experiences. These reflections range from the impacts of plastic pollution on climate change and human health to “zero waste” community experiences. The articles were organized into the following sections: current affairs, represented by most of the articles, in which various aspects of the topic in question are discussed; young researchers, dedicated to texts by undergraduate students and master’s and doctoral students, whose work is in progress; engagement, which congregates articles by people who are at the forefront or discuss the role of civil society and social movements in the topic; interview, with reports of conversations with people related to the topic; and arts, focused on artistic productions that dialogue with the topic, suggested by researchers from the project or guests of this issue.
