Abstract
This study is an attempt to examine issues related to the challenges posed by climate change and the current policies that address them. These challenges provoke public unrest related to the social dimensions of transformation (loss of financial income, security, and social status). This text is based on field ethnological research conducted in several localities in the southeastern coal region. The case presented shows a life trajectory marked by a sense of constant change (uncertainty) in the context of ongoing social and industrial transformation. Through it, I will attempt to reveal the possibilities of the ethnological approach in the study of current issues related to the coal transition and the Green deal, the understanding and interpretation of life choices in the context of macro-processes and policies.
