The article analyzes recent debates that took place in Rio Grande do Norte at the forefront of the state's public discussion on the contemporary climate crisis. The forums brought together scientists, public managers, social movements and other sectors of civil society, reversing the lack of debate on the environmental crisis and exposing a tension between developmental objectives on the public agenda and the ontological discussion about the future of humanity. Our objective is to analyze the process of building this public agenda based on the attention of academia, the media, the political class and society. We analyzed how the mediatization and dissemination of events took place, articulation between actors, results obtained and future directions. The conclusion is that the preparatory work is fundamental, but it is necessary to guarantee the continuity of the debates, expand the scope and guarantee their reproducibility.

O artigo analisa a realização recente de várias iniciativas que colocam o Rio Grande do Norte em destaque na discussão pública estadual sobre a crise climática contemporânea. Os fóruns juntaram cientistas, gestores públicos, movimentos sociais e outros setores da sociedade civil, invertendo a ausência de uma reflexão sobre a crise ambiental e expondo uma tensão entre objetivos desenvolvimentistas da pauta pública e a discussão ontológica sobre o futuro da humanidade. Nosso objetivo é analisar o processo de construção dessa agenda pública a partir da atenção da academia, da mídia, da classe política e da sociedade. Para tal, analisamos como se deu a midiatização e divulgação dos eventos, as articulações, resultados obtidos e encaminhamentos futuros. A conclusão é que o trabalho preparatório é fundamental, mas é necessário garantir a continuidade dos debates, alargar a abrangência e garantir a sua reprodutibilidade.
