Climatechange and environmental problems deal with cultural, social, individual andnatural causes. After several investigations on attitudes and behaviors ofurban inhabitants of different cities of Argentina, we acknowledge theimportance of a comprehensive theoretical approach to better understand thesesort of complex and multidimensional phenomena, like climate change is. A socio-culturalapproach implies to consider the socio-cultural world as a total phenomenon,that is multidimensional and interdependent, which also considers that climatechange not only refers to national and state policies but also to the subject?sworld and its everyday life realm.
