ADELANTE 2: Triangular Cooperation to strengthen the fight of rural populations against climate change in Mexico and Argentina

Fuente: Fondazione AVSI 

AVSI is one of the members of the Triangular Cooperation Initiative co-financed by the European Union to create an environmental education model for young people and women of indigenous communities in Mexico and Argentina, a path of training and knowledge exchange to improve water management with a focus on local development and sustainability.

The Triangular Cooperation Initiative

The solutions to the current challenges in the field of sustainable development cannot be – only – local. Therefore, through ADELANTE 2, its Triangular Cooperation Programme, the European Union seeks to contribute to the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda by strengthening regional cooperation initiatives. AVSI is part of a group made up of 5 Italian, Mexican and Argentinian entities, that will work together on environmental education from September 2022 to March 2023. This Partnership consists in the Fundación León, the Secretariat for International Relations of the Government of the Argentinian Province of Tucumán, AVSI México A.C., AVSI Foundation and the University of Bologna.

A glimpse at the context: poverty and the impact of climate change

In the most impoverished rural areas, the effects of climate change are exacerbated by poverty: environmental deterioration aggravates poverty and vice versa - a never-ending cycle we must act on. In such contexts, paying attention to natural resources becomes a particularly urgent matter. A shared challenge consists in providing access to and guarantee integral use of water resources to young people and women. On the one hand, it is important to get youth involved in virtue of their participation in the ecological transition; on the other hand, women must also be engaged with respect to the role they play in management, food safety and biodiversity safeguarding.
