Strategic lines: Sustainable management of food systems and forests. Line of action: Relocation and population rooting p. 41

With respect to human systems, climate change directly impacts both the population and economic activities. Extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, cyclones and forest fires have impacts such as water and food shortages, damage to infrastructure and settlements, displacement, morbidity and mortality. p. 52

Floods also pose a risk to the mobility and physical connectivity of individuals, as well as the transportation of supplies and services, due to waterlogging or damage to roads and routes caused by flooding. p. 112

In this regard, in order for the right to public participation within a framework of action for citizen empowerment to be exercised responsibly, it is essential to have clear, timely, and understandable information and promote comprehensive environmental education for the population, both formally and informally, and through the media. This education will be based on promoting mutual exchange and enrichment among different cultural groups, farmers, Afro-descendants, immigrants, and Indigenous Peoples, based on mutual respect, the principle of intergenerationality, and gender equality. p. 120

Access to an adequate level of social protection and health and safety at work are important aspects of a just transition; the challenge lies in providing long-term social protection that is responsive to the current socio-health situation. This involves diversifying and expanding instruments and ensuring resources for the sustainability of policies and programs. It requires a differential and participatory approach to health and safety at work, job protection, and social security. This line of action will include specific measures tailored for populations in situations of greater vulnerability, such as Indigenous Peoples, children and adolescents, young people, LGBTI+, women, migrants, refugees, people with disabilities, the elderly, and Afro-descendant populations. p. 138

This development is generating productive transformations of scale outside the most important geographical axes of the country in terms of GDP, which entails the creation of new registered jobs that require the displacement of workers and their families. In this context, it is relevant for public policy to make decisions to support workers who choose to relocate in response to the emerging demand, while ensuring respect for their labor rights and promoting access to infrastructure and public services for their families. p. 138.

Line of action 4. TJ-14 Promoting assistance and support mechanisms for workers and their families who decide to relocate in response to emerging opportunities (Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security). Description: Analysis of the various contingencies and social needs that workers and their families may face as a result of their relocation/move, and, if necessary, taking measures to adapt employment policies (and social security policies) to these new challenges. p. 139.

Our country faces the challenge of recovering and restoring numerous ecosystems in different ecoregions. Land degradation, coupled with climate change, poses a threat to livelihoods, risking food security and even triggering migration processes and loss of natural and cultural heritage p. 170.

Promotion of forest tenure and rural rooting in indigenous and peasant communities through Management or Conservation Plans in the form of Integrated Community Plans, among other modalities, to guarantee legal access to the sustainable use and management of native forests. In addition, it is expected to generate employment opportunities, improve income and access to basic services for rural and indigenous families, in order to discourage migration to urban areas; promote the formal participation of communities in forest production networks p. 189

Efforts will also be made to correctly measure potential impacts and develop appropriate response systems to ensure the mobility of goods and people in adverse weather scenarios. p. 191.

The Renewable Energy Project in Rural Markets (PERMER, by its Spanish acronym) aims to provide renewable energy to homes, rural schools, national parks, clustered communities, and small productive enterprises located far from distribution structures. This initiative supports subsistence-based economies, thus facilitating their sustainability and reducing rural migration. p. 205

Finally, the resource requirements for actions aimed at promoting relocation and population rooting amount to USD 147 million for the measure to strengthen land titling, rural rooting and land regularization programs; USD 21 million for the measure to promote strategies for the rooting of indigenous and peasant communities; and USD 4 million for the creation of the Native Forest Producers program. p. 231.
