“…Nature and ecosystem services are part of our life cycle and cannot be exploited, polluted, and destroyed, but requires an alternative approach to extraction [71] with care and redistribution of profits for all humans and the restoration of nature. Precisely, the complex emergency of COVID-19, as a zoonotic disease, indicates that new pandemics may soon emerge, affecting further humans, as SARS COV-2 has proven in the past [72].…”

This article explores diverse peace paradigms from negative and realist to liberal, structural, and cosmopolitan peace. The liberal focus in a multi-diverse world with an occidental cosmopolitan pathway did not prevent global and regional wars, such as the present between Russia and Ukraine. The text focuses on a methodology of an open, dissipative, and self-regulating system on a decolonized bottom-up approach, where indigenous communities, representing 5% of the world population, conserve 80% of the remaining biodiversity. Women produce also half the food for their families and communities. Ethnic, economic, and gender discrimination are related to patriarchy that has devastated societies and the environment. Alternative HUGE (human, gender, and environmental) security is caring for vulnerable social groups and destroyed environments. Women’s care economy, subsistence production, sorority, and social solidarity from the bottom up are transforming violence inside society and families, centering on well-being and not capital accumulation. Reinforcing regional autonomy, gender, and indigenous equity also reduces the impacts of environmental footprints. This decolonized understanding represents an alternative model of the way of life in the Global South, based on engendered and sustainable peacebuilding for a sustainable future.

El objetivo es analizar la migración climática desde Mesoamérica, integrando factores sistémicos de pobreza, pandemia, desastres ambientales, dilema de supervivencia, inseguridad y violencia dentro de una perspectiva de género. Desastres climáticos han aumentado los riesgos sistémicos y generado procesos en cascada por insuficientes políticas gubernamentales de prevención, mitigación y adaptación. Adicionalmente, políticas norteamericanas anti-migrantes, una militarización de las fronteras y el crimen organizado han aumentado la violencia regional, forzando a personas pobres a emigrar dentro de caravanas. Durante estos trayectos, las mujeres, por sus apoyos, han alcanzado mayor equidad, justicia y capacitación en condiciones altamente adversas. Estos aprendizajes han generado reconocimiento y normas culturales más incluyentes, que fueron aplicados aun cuando los migrantes fueron repatriados hacia sus países, donde han promovido una economía del cuidado. Esta permitió adaptarse a desastres climáticos y participar en la política local, donde se han promovido prácticas productivas sustentables que han mejorado la economía e igualdad en la sociedad. Están superado pobreza extrema y patrones patriarcales violento-discriminatorios al mejorar la economía familiar y proteger a la comunidad ante impactos climáticos crecientemente más severos.
