Resilience. Stimulus. Economic regeneration. Innovation. Social challenges. How many of these expressions have you heard in these strange times that we live, the already known as post-COVID era?
What is clear is that we need a new way of doing business for a new world. So new, we hope it will not fall back on the old way mistakes. Now, more than ever, we value the importance of building an inclusive, supportive, sustainable society that has in mind the well-being of people and at the centre the fight against the climate crisis. That’s why we cannot consume the same as before.
We go towards a more resilient world thanks to the green economy
Governments, businesses, people who are working and also consumers need to take coordinated action to deal with the crisis and emerge stronger. Only in this way, we will be able to overcome this situation and learn to better cope upcoming challenges, including climate change. Because that crisis, the environmental one, is up to all of us.
If the pandemic was to bring something positive, it is the opportunity to stop everything, to stop and think. It is now or never: we have the opportunity to reset the economy and give it the much-needed green turn. With our sights set on the SDGs,we must work from now on for a new economic model, that is truly fair and sustainable.
Surely, it is a priority to protect vulnerable population from the health effects of COVID-19, as well as reducing contagion and providing health professionals with the support they deserve. But we also have to think about the long term. Projects like Bemariposa are a boost to that new way of doing and thinking that has been cooking for some time. Because big changes come with many small differences.
