Metodología: durante seis meses se realizó una etnografía multifocal y multitécnica que recogió el testimonio de diversos participantes: figuras clave de la comunidad, ejidatarios con derechos agrarios y residentes que no conformaban el núcleo ejidal. Resultados: el tema de las tierras ejidales estaba devaluado y manejado a espaldas de la comunidad hasta que el gobierno federal intervino para aplicar la ley correspondiente. El proceso legal dio pie a la defensa del medio ambiente y al empoderamiento de los residentes de la comunidad. Limitaciones: puesto que cada experiencia de implementación presenta variantes y matices diferentes, es necesario decir que el caso analizado no es una muestra representativa. Valor: el caso de San José Tipceh permite entender las bondades y las limitaciones de la transición energética mexicana a escala local. Conclusiones: en el futuro se debe procurar que la implementación de este tipo de proyectos sea sustentable, tomando en cuenta el bienestar de los actores involucrados y que éstos se encuentren en una posición igualitaria de poder.

Sustainable development is an integrated blend of energetic, economic, social, environmental, and governmental actors, making it one of the most challenging and subjective aims of the United Nations. A sustainability project that does not consider any of these parameters can generate resistance among different actors of society. In this work, we have demonstrated that the traditional definition of sustainability encompassing economic development, environmental protection, and social justice does not adequately cover large-scale renewable energy projects. We have presented an illuminating case study of solar development in the Yucatan state of Mexico to show that the traditional three-legged stool of sustainable development fails to accommodate local power relations and their role in energy decision-making. This point is made through a substantive and illuminating ethnography of a solar project in the community of San José Tipceh, which involves the importance of energy democracy and understanding power relations in any assessment of sustainable development. These power relations are an important component of sustainable development, and all megaprojects, especially renewable energy projects, require special attention in the governance processes. Through an analysis of an example of implementation of a mega solar project, we argue that the methodology through which the power is exercised is an exercise of great importance because it leads us to a scientific discussion that structures an international reflection on sustainability. The case study consists of mixed methods, including several techniques to deepen the analysis of sociocultural aspects, and tries to present the limits and show the weakness of the sustainability perspective in such megaprojects. It is concluded that environmental justice as a basic element of the new era of renewable energies is limited and can generate social injustices. In the same way, this work shows how power is exercised in the implementation of energy projects and in the absence of equitable comprehensive governance that does not consider the local sociocultural contexts of the communities, resulting in the generation of new powers and permanent conflicts. At the end of this work, a framework to empower local sociocultural contexts for an equitable energy transition is recommended.

It was developed in close collaboration with communities participating in the PRONAII 319191 project: Sustainable Maya Communities, and follows a pedagogical structure adapted to local territorial contexts. The manual explores the relationship between people and nature, integrating local knowledge, community experiences, and scientific principles. Through five core themes—natural elements, pollution, waste, climate change, and community action—it provides tools to foster environmental critical thinking, encourage civic participation, and support ecological transitions grounded in place-based knowledge. This publication is part of a broader effort to build educational materials from and for communities, supported by the National Council of Humanities, Science and Technology (CONAHCyT), the Maya Heritage Center, and Open Heritage Press. ESPAÑOL: Este Manual de Educación Ambiental Comunitaria es una guía didáctica diseñada para promover la conciencia ambiental en comunidades rurales del estado de Yucatán, México. Surge del trabajo conjunto con las comunidades participantes del proyecto PRONAII 319191: Comunidades Mayas Sustentables, y presenta una estructura educativa adaptada a contextos territoriales específicos. El manual explora la relación entre las personas y su entorno natural, integrando saberes locales, experiencias comunitarias y fundamentos científicos. A través de cinco ejes temáticos—elementos naturales, contaminación, residuos, cambio climático y acciones comunitarias—ofrece herramientas para fortalecer el pensamiento crítico ambiental, fomentar la participación social y promover una transición ecológica con base en el conocimiento situado. Esta publicación forma parte de un esfuerzo más amplio por construir pedagogías desde y para las comunidades, con el apoyo del Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias y Tecnologías (CONAHCyT), el Maya Heritage Center y Open Heritage Press.
