Abstract

Adaptation policies are an urgency of our time. In the context of drastic climate changes, their essential guidelines are aimed at creating strategies, measures and initiatives in order to adjust human reality to the increase of risk, hazard, and vulnerability conditions. In order to contribute to the theme, we propose the discussion of the concept of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) through the problematization of   three vital issues: knowledge, culture, and ethics. We intend to demonstrate that adaptation policies can find sufficient knowledge in the soil of the lifeworld, which can to glimpse, formulations of public policies more humanistic, that is, beyond the limitations objectivist, dichotomous and hierarchical.
