Hoy el mundo se debate en una crisis económica y ambiental por el calentamiento global. La nueva realidad social post pandemia, ha modificado nuestras prácticas sociales, culturales y cotidianas; las guerras por el agua y los recursos estratégicos son algunos temas actuales que se vuelven desafíos.

The Tehuantepec Isthmus in Oaxaca, Mexico, is a territory shared among the Binnizá, Ikoots, Angpøn, and Ayuuk Peoples that produces 76.8 percent of the country's wind energy. As of January 2020, 1,600 wind turbines had been installed here at 32 wind farms, and thousands more are in construction plans, in an effort to secure "green energy" to combat climate change.
