The contours of the collective action necessary to limit climate change remain difficult to discern. In this context, societal corporatist political processes, fueled by crisis narratives, have shown some promise as political devices for mobilizing people. Corporatist processes have, historically, brought political competitors like employers and labor unions together to negotiate compacts that have advanced collective goods during times of crisis. In response to the climate crisis in the Global South, affluent donor groups, state officials, some farmers, and indigenous peoples have begun to assemble corporatist-like coalitions to pursue climate stabilization. A comparative case study of efforts to promote sustainable cattle ranching through the spread of silvopastoral landscapes in Colombia and Ecuador illustrates this political dynamic, its shortcomings, and its accomplishments.
限制气候变化所需的集体行动的轮廓仍然难以察觉。在这种情况下，危机叙事推动的社会社团主义政治进程作为动员人民的政治手段显示出了一些希望。历史上，社团主义进程将雇主和工会等政治竞争对手聚集在一起，通过谈判达成协议，在危机时期推进集体利益。为应对南方国家的气候危机，富裕的捐助团体、国家官员、一些农民和土著人民开始组建类似社团主义的联盟，以追求气候稳定。通过对哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔推广可持续牧场的案例研究，说明了这种政治动态、其缺点和成就。
