Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

Según rtve indica que hasta la fecha existen más de 27,3 millones de casos y más de 893.000 muertos en todo el mundo por Covid-19.

Esta pandemia por Covid-19 ha afectado mayormente a los pueblos Indígenas debido al abandono de sus gobiernos, a la poca o nula información que llega a sus comunidades y a la falta de acceso a los sistemas de salud nacional.

La época colonial en Centroamérica está marcada por el sufrimiento de los pueblos Indígenas que a la fecha siguen luchando ante la imposición de modelos imperialistas y extractivistas en sus territorios; modelos que tienen como único fin generar recurso económico sin importar la destrucción de los recursos naturales y despojo de territorios sagrados, bajo el discurso y engaño de ser proyectos de desarrollo.

COVID-19 sigue siendo una situación de gravedad, más ahora con nuevas variaciones del virus que se extiende por todo el mundo. La segunda ola del virus está afectando a muchos países mientras que la primera ola ahora llega a aquellas naciones donde no se había sentido mucho el impacto del virus.
