This article is based on doctoral research conducted in the fields of environmental adult education and environmental geography as part of a participatory approach in the context of a territorial ‘sustainable development’ project. The framework elements of the qualitative case study in question situate the article and its proposed insights in the dialogical dynamics of the environmental way of knowing studied from an institutional discourse analysis perspective. A transcoding of statements occurs, which affects the participatory dynamics and engagement of the inhabitants-actors. The challenge of considering environmental temporalities highlights the formative temporalities relating to the environment and the emergence of an alternative agenda centred on the commons. Suggestions related to environmental adult education are made to establish a reference framework for the environmental transition currently underway.
