From these intense days we can conclude that:
The unpredictable impacts of something unexpected that, if you had been careful, could have been avoided summarizes the black swan theory coined in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Today there is a variation on that theory: “the green swan” that is applied to change whose effects we are already experiencing and which, aggravated by COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine crisis, threaten to become the perfect storm on our planet with consequences that are still unimaginable, but none of which are friendly, putting human health and the health of the ecosystems we inhabit at risk because One of the main lessons that COVID-19 brought us is that the link between health and care for the environment is inseparable; And when we talk about health, we must integrate food into the analysis as an ethical and political act from the producer in the field to the final consumer, as well as the sustainable use of ecosystems as the great barriers and pantries of our well-being and the right to live. in clean, green, humane cities where families can develop their full potential as engines of society.
The outlook is bleak; However, there is still a window of opportunity to be able to adapt to the inevitable impacts and mitigate the force of climate change, but for this it is necessary that politics become aware of the risks and consequences of non-adapted models and propose, from within of the political parties themselves, climate change as transversal to all the proposals to present to citizens and their own members so that, in a democracy, it is possible to make the necessary leap in implemented public policies that have science and its multiple responses as a guide and to life in its human, animal and plant forms as a goal.
