Governance is the art of good governance, in this sense, environmental governance is a requirement of the communities and peoples interested in an environment that respects the participation and free and informed access of the communities. The pandemic / syndemic is presented as a challenge that violates the rights of people, however, it is no longer a consequence of a voracious consumption model that does not stop, and at the rate that humanity is leading, other pandemics will come.
