Presentation

The health and economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a set of structural problems that mainly affect the most vulnerable populations and show us that it is necessary to find paths towards sustainable forms of development, particularly in extractive territories. The general aim of this project is to elaborate a portfolio of initiatives towards forms of sustainable development which, as hypotheses, can feed the current debate on economic reactivation and sustainable development, as well as serve as a basis for research that can validate said initiatives as links towards forms of sustainable development in Andean territories with a large-scale extractive presence.
