60 Corridor" (ICSI, 2025). A central component of this methodology was the statistical validation of the transition vision, submitting three conceptual definitions to citizen evaluation. "Definition 1," framed as "The process of change in the global energy system that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, leaving social and environmental concerns related to this transformation in the background," obtained support from only 36.4% of households, evidencing a rejection of exclusively technocratic approaches. In contrast, the community overwhelmingly validated comprehensive definitions. "Definition 2," described as a process that "seeks not only to reduce emissions... but also to address social and economic concerns related to this transformation," reached an approval of 68.7%. Similarly, "Definition 3," understood as a process to "maximize the social and economic opportunities of climate action... through effective social dialogue... and respect for fundamental labor principles and rights," obtained support of 68.6%. Based on this mandate, the multistakeholder dialogue structured five key dimensions that make up the shared vision regarding the challenges of the territory: Participatory Governance, Relevant Education, Environmental Sustainability, Economic Diversification and Energy. First, regarding Participatory Governance, the need to strengthen citizen oversight of royalties was identified, given the structural disconnection between the resources generated and local well-being. The narrative established that recovering trust requires moving from simple socialization spaces to binding participation mechanisms, where communities can monitor the execution of resources to ensure they respond to real needs. Second, in Relevant Education, it was agreed that the current educational offer is disconnected from the post-coal vocation of the territory. A route towards a "productive projection" was defined, integrating local knowledge with technical training in agro-industry and renewable energy management. The goal is to mitigate youth migration and close the opportunity gap, given that currently only 7.2% of the population in La Loma considers they will have the same opportunities as the previous generation. Third, regarding Environmental Sustainability, the built narrative defined "nonnegotiable zones" for water protection, prioritizing water over any industrial land use. It was proposed to articulate mandatory environmental compensations from companies with the strengthening of local community nurseries, turning ecological restoration into a formal economic activity that repairs the bond with the territory. Fourth, facing Economic Diversification, it was technically recognized that renewable energies will not massively replace mining employment. Therefore, a "diversification with roots" was prioritized, focused on reactivating the agricultural and tourism vocation, conditioned on investment in road infrastructure and collection centers. This dimension seeks to reduce dependence on the enclave economy by strengthening local value chains that add value to primary production.
