Impactos ambientales, sociales y económicos debido al brote del COVID-19
Resumen
La pandemia del coronavirus (COVID-19) ha trastornado la vida cotidiana, pues ha desafiado los sistemas nacionales de salud, estancado el crecimiento y afectado a la población en general. Específicamente, fue más perjudicial para los grupos vulnerables, que incluyen a personas con discapacidad, ancianos, personas que viven en la pobreza y poblaciones indígenas. Adicionalmente, la crisis alimentaria, de salud, de seguridad, de empleo y laboral ha perturbado las estructuras económicas y sociales del mundo. En ese sentido, durante la pandemia, los trabajadores sufrieron desnutrición y decenas de millones estuvieron en riesgo de pobreza extrema. Incluso algunos todavía están atrapados en estas situaciones. Considerando todo lo anterior, nuestro documento aborda la crisis mundial provocada por el COVID-19 y los posibles esfuerzos que se proponen realizar para superar sus devastadoras consecuencias.
