ABSTRACT
The international agreement on weather signed in Paris by 195 nations is a first step for all of humanity in preventing and mitigating the disastrous effects of economic and population growth on the environment. Facing the intrinsic difficulties of every collective action for the common good, the agreement is aimed at developing awareness in the public opinion and building a new solidary subjectivity. Unfortunately, the withdrawal of the most powerful nation in this agreement signals that we have entered a new geopolitical era in which national sovereignty seeks to trump planetary sovereignty, with possibly disastrous results.
