El 22 de mayo es la fecha de vencimiento para un pago de intereses de 500 millones de d\u00f3lares a los acreedores internacionales, de una deuda de 65 mil millones.<\/p>\n\n<p>Con tantas naciones endeudadas y fuertemente afectadas por el colapso econ\u00f3mico de la pandemia de COVID-19, es hora de repensar este modelo financiero agotado.<\/p>\n\n<p>Por esta raz\u00f3n Greenpeace pide la <strong>cancelaci\u00f3n incondicional de la deuda externa de Argentina<\/strong>, y todos los pa\u00edses del sur global, junto con un financiamiento adicional de emergencia que no genere nueva deuda.<\/p>\n\n<p>Estamos ante una triple crisis: una crisis econ\u00f3mica, una crisis de salud p\u00fablica y una crisis ecol\u00f3gica, que requieren soluciones. Nuestras soluciones deben ser hol\u00edsticas, no debemos tratar de resolver una crisis profundizando otra. En pocas palabras, la cancelaci\u00f3n incondicional de la deuda es <strong>la forma m\u00e1s r\u00e1pida de mantener el dinero en los pa\u00edses y liberar recursos para hacer frente a las crisis resultantes de la pandemia mundial del Covid-19<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>La primera prioridad debe ser la salud y el bienestar de las personas. Para crear resiliencia contra la propagaci\u00f3n de enfermedades futuras, es fundamental garantizar que las necesidades humanas b\u00e1sicas sean cubiertas y que tengamos un entorno saludable.<\/p>\n\n<p>La trampa c\u00edclica de priorizar el pago de<strong> la deuda en moneda extranjera mantiene a los pa\u00edses como Argentina atrapados en un modelo de desarrollo extractivista<\/strong> que depende de la extracci\u00f3n de recursos para las exportaciones al extranjero. Para ganar m\u00e1s d\u00f3lares para pagar intereses sobre deudas insostenibles, nuestros pa\u00edses se ven presionados a expandir las exportaciones de las industrias que est\u00e1n causando la destrucci\u00f3n de ecosistemas clave. Esta es una de las razones principales por las que en Argentina estamos presenciando la deforestaci\u00f3n continua, la explotaci\u00f3n de los recursos oce\u00e1nicos y la agricultura, la ganader\u00eda y la miner\u00eda intensificadas. <strong>Este extractivismo contin\u00faa a\u00fan durante las \u00faltimas semanas de cuarentena<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Necesitamos en forma urgente un plan s\u00f3lido para la recuperaci\u00f3n post-COVID, hacia un futuro justo y verde basado en un sistema econ\u00f3mico m\u00e1s inclusivo y equitativo que opere dentro de los l\u00edmites ambientales de nuestro planeta y coloque a la ecolog\u00eda en el centro de la toma de decisiones. Esto requiere de deforestaci\u00f3n cero, un cambio profundo en el uso de la tierra para apoyar a los peque\u00f1os productores y agricultores, no m\u00e1s extracci\u00f3n de combustibles f\u00f3siles o minerales, y requiere tambi\u00e9n priorizar la restauraci\u00f3n de ecosistemas cr\u00edticos y la creaci\u00f3n de nuevas reservas en bosques y oc\u00e9anos, lo cual tambi\u00e9n tiene potencial de generaci\u00f3n de fuentes de trabajo.<\/p>\n\n<p>Este es un nuevo paradigma para nuestra sociedad moderna, pero no es realmente nuevo; tenemos mucho que aprender de los pueblos ind\u00edgenas y su forma tradicional de relacionarse con la naturaleza.<\/p>\n\n<p>No podemos lograr justicia social mientras se d\u00e9 prioridad a un modelo de desarrollo desigual e insostenible. En lugar de m\u00e1s endeudamiento y m\u00e1s extractivismo, necesitamos un nuevo modelo econ\u00f3mico de desarrollo que se centre en una transici\u00f3n justa para las personas y para la naturaleza.<a name=\"english\"><\/a> Y es necesario comenzar esta transici\u00f3n hoy. Liberar la carga de la deuda internacional abre la oportunidad para el restablecimiento que precisamos para la recuperaci\u00f3n post-COVID<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Need for Debt Cancellation for Argentina and all Global South Countries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>This month, Argentina faces the devastating prospect of defaulting on international debt payments. May 22 is the due-date for a US$500Million interest payment to international creditors on a $65Billion debt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>With many indebted nations heavily-impacted by the economic crash of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is past-time to rethink this broken financial model.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is why Greenpeace calls for unconditional cancellation of all external debt payments due to be made by Argentina &#8211; and all global south countries &#8211; along with the provision of emergency additional finance which does not create new debt.<\/p>\n\n<p>We are facing a triple crisis: an economic crisis, a public health crisis and an ecological crisis, which all require solutions. Our solutions must be holistic, we must not seek to resolve one crisis by deepening another. Simply put, unconditionally cancelling debt payments is the fastest way to keep money in countries and free up resources to tackle the urgent crises resulting from the Covid-19 global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n<p>The first priority must be the health and wellbeing of people. To create resilience against the spread of future diseases, it is fundamental to ensure that basic human needs are met with dignity and that we have a healthy and thriving environment.<\/p>\n\n<p>The cyclical trap of prioritising debt repayments in foreign currency keeps Global south countries like Argentina \u2018locked\u2019 into an extractivist development model that depends upon resource extraction for overseas exports. In order to earn more dollars to pay interest on unsustainable debts, our countries are pushed to expand exports from the industries that are causing the biggest destruction to key ecosystems. This is one of the core reasons why in Argentina we are witnessing continued deforestation, exploitation of ocean resources, intensified agriculture, livestock and mining. This extractivism continues even during the recent weeks in the \u2018quarantine\u2019 phase of the COVID crisis.<\/p>\n\n<p>We urgently need a strong plan for post-COVID recovery, a just and green future based on a more inclusive, equitable economic system that operates within the environmental limits of our planet by putting ecology at the center of decision-making. This necessitates zero deforestation, shifting land-use to support small producers and farmers, no further expansion of fossil fuel or mineral extraction, it includes prioritising the restoration of critical ecosystems and creation of new forests and oceans reserves &#8211; which can generate the creation of new jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a new paradigm for our modern society, but it is not really new, we have a lot to learn from Indigenous people and their traditional way of relating to nature.<\/p>\n\n<p>We cannot achieve social justice as long as the priority is given to an unequal and unsustainable development model. In place of more indebtedness, and more extractivism, we need a new economic model of development that focuses on a Just Transition for people and for nature. We need to start this transition today. Releasing the burden of international debt creates the opportunity for the reset we need in our post-COVID recovery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"EmptyMessage\">Block content is empty.
