This document is a first contribution to support policy makers in finding the right tools to interpret the needs of our society along the process of transition away from fossil fuels, as well as building a consensus based political proposal and a shared framework of reference based on the principles outlined in this document. Further, it opens a season of social studies aimed at exploring social, economic and cultural drivers of behaviours in relation to climate action.
