Since 2018, there has been a notable increase in recognition of the global youth climate movement. Young activists have come into the spotlight through extensive street demonstrations, school occupations, and engagement in other collective actions with the purpose of promoting alternative visions of the future. Multiple scholars have delved into activists’ profiles, their media representations, and other topics. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of research exploring their political imaginaries. This article aims to contribute to understanding how young activists in Portugal assess the current social and political landscape and construct visions of political futures. After analyzing online texts from four climate groups, we identified four themes that offer insights into the political imaginaries of these groups. The four groups discursively negotiate political imaginaries that correspond to a wide spectrum of perspectives, ranging from collective resistance against the neoliberal capitalist system and proposals of decentralized democracy to strategies based on individual ethics and the prevalent discourses of sustainable development and ecological modernization. The plurality of political imaginaries reflects the diversity of sociopolitical stances within youth-led climate movements in Portugal and their commitment to exploring alternative ways of governing climate change.

As alterações climáticas estão entre os principais desafios atuais globais. Configuram-se como globais pois as alterações dos padrões climáticos não atingem a todos da mesma forma, mas todos serão afetados. Relatórios recentes do Painel Intergovernamental para as Alterações Climáticas (IPCC), designadamente o sexto (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2023), evidenciam a intersecção entre localização geográfica, fatores económicos, políticos e socioculturais. Isso significa que fatores como classe social, raça, etnia, género e idade, que estão associados a diferentes níveis de vulnerabilidades sociais, influenciam na probabilidade de sofrer com os efeitos do fenómeno e aumentam as dificuldades de enfrentamento. Destacamos, neste número, os desafios sociais relacionados com a ação climática e a justiça climática.Essa intersecção entre a emergência climática e outros problemas sociais contemporâneos torna cada vez mais relevante trazer os desafios sociais e culturais ao debate público. O historiador Dipesh Chakrabarty, referência nos estudos pós-coloniais, tem chamado a atenção para a diferenciação e dicotomia entre história "natural", "humana", planetária e global. Ele argumenta que por muitos anos pouco se falou da questão ambiental na história, sobretudo o impacto humano na história da Terra. Do ponto de vista de Chakrabarty (2021), são conceitos interligados, uma vez que a condição humana mudou e está cada vez mais planetária. Segundo o autor, planetário significa a ligação do sistema terrestre, das espécies e sociedade humana no planeta, enquanto o global refere-se às interações, consumo, capitalismo e extrativismo.
