Youth for Climate: The environmental dimension should be incorporated into development plans

In an interview with FM La Patriada, the militant Youth for Climate, Mercedes pombo, he told about the comprehensive human development plan for post-pandemic recovery, which, he said, “It seeks to respond to the high rates of poverty and combine this with the need for that response to be sustainable.”

In that sense, the activist specified that the plan proposes the generation of jobs and also infrastructure that responds to the needs imposed by climate change, for example, homes that use natural resources efficiently to save energy.

In addition, according to Pombo, what is sought it is “repopulating the homeland”, and that because “the pandemic revealed the need for urban deconcentration”, which generates social and environmental problems.

He also said that the project wants for “the industry to be able to think in a decentralized way and encourage more local production”.

“We are going through a very difficult economic situation, and on the other hand, the environmental problem affects the quality of life of the people”the activist insisted

“The need to incorporate the environmental dimension in diagnoses and also in solutions is increasingly undeniable.. I think it is something that is missing. “

Mining

When consulted, on the other hand, on this issue, Pombo said that, “with mining, for example, in our country there is a legal framework aligned with the interests of transnationals; there is a looting of resources.”

Violence is also exerted on the populations and “the response to this cannot be to disqualify the movements,” he added.
