CONTEXT
CURRENT
The global environmental crisis is the result of the inappropriate and excessive use of natural resources. The member states of the United Nations (UN) pledged in 2015 to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that include 17 areas in which humanity and the environment interact continuously. Mexico is part of that agreement and to carry it out in the stipulated time (2030) we must adapt measures that provide short and medium solutions.
Resilience 2020 expresses its interest in actively participating in economic, social and environmental challenges, providing sustainable solutions to citizens whose impact transcends the local, contributing to the fulfillment of the SDGs (Figure 1) as a continuation of the efforts of projects with environmental merit that impact in your community.
The dynamic nature of this proposal places the technologies as a whole, where they do not lose their individuality, allowing their implementation and benefits to grow exponentially by strengthening social relations based on cooperation networks to combat both the socio-environmental and economic crises. that plague the planet.
SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS
Due to the over-exploitation and unequal access to basic resources such as water, food and land, the effects of climate change and social crises at the global level that have increased in the last decade (UNESCO, 2020) are added. This poses a global food security problem that currently affects 135 million people severely (FSIN, 2020).
This phenomenon, together with the increase in the damage caused by climate change in agroecology, has altered the reproductive cycles of crops due to the increase in global temperature and the difficulty of meeting their water demand, putting food security at risk. (FAO, 2021). Furthermore, these conditions accelerate demographic aging in rural areas and demand for resources in urban areas (IOM, 2021).
However, they are insufficient, so it is necessary to direct these transformation efforts towards a more sustainable life through actions that can be carried out in small spaces and that involve communities directly and continuously.
By providing alternatives that reinforce basic services, compliance with the human rights of the population is guaranteed by applying sustainability criteria in projects to support families.
ECONOMIC
CRISIS
According to the UN report (2019), the goals for 2030 can only be achieved through transformative changes through economic, social, political and technological factors applied at different economic and social levels, which allow promoting solutions to the aforementioned crises.
In the case of Mexico, the accumulated costs for this century derived from climate change would be between 50% and 200% of GDP in 2100 (INECC, 2018). It is estimated that remedying the financial impact of the pandemic will take the country between 5 and 6 years to recover the economic level reached in 2018 (El Economista, 2021)
