Abstract

En este texto se presenta inicialmente alguna información cuantitativa sobre la contribución del país y sus actividades económicas al cambio climático global, y su relación con los retos ambientales locales de mayor relevancia. Se procura abordarlos con visión territorial, destacando sus consecuencias para el bienestar social. En una segunda sección se muestra cómo varios de los principales procesos de deterioro ambiental tienen causas comunes y, también, consecuencias comunes sobre los entornos local, regional y global. En la tercera sección se argumenta que el tratamiento y la gestión de esos procesos de deterioro requieren de la intervención coordinada y de la responsabilidad compartida entre distintas agencias estatales y del sector privado. Se hace énfasis en la necesidad de gestionar los diferentes retos ambientales reconociendo las relaciones que existen entre ellos, y mediante enfoques territoriales, económicos, ecosistémicos, intersectoriales y de largo plazo. Se discuten las implicaciones, desafíos y oportunidades del advenimiento del covid-19, y se argumenta finalmente que la conservación de los ecosistemas, el desarrollo tecnológico, la sostenibilidad de los procesos productivos, el mejoramiento equitativo de los niveles de bienestar social y la protección de la salud son asuntos inseparables.
