“…Confronted with these theoretical limits, Oswald [8] proposed an engenderedsustainable peace to end patriarchal violence and environmental destruction within a framework of diverse and multicultural efforts from the bottom up. This HUGE security includes different objects of reference: instead of the state, it prioritizes humans, women, and vulnerable people, together with natural, agricultural, and urban ecosystems.…”

“…(1) Absence of fear related to the lack of physical threat to life and livelihood; (2) absence of needs, enabling people to cover their basic needs in food, shelter, education, and health; (3) absence of disasters, where adaptation and resilience allow people to survive during extreme events and recover fast, avoiding that the event may transform into a disaster; (4) living in a state with rules of law, where human rights are respected and the state is reinforcing a transparent legal system [46]; (5) living in a multicultural world with full respect for cultural diversity, where ethnic, religious, and racial minorities obtain the same rights without any discrimination. Gender security [8] was inspired by the currents of empirical, epistemic, standpoint, and postmodern feminism [47], where the object of reference is the equity of genders. The values of risk are related to the loss of equity, equality, identity, social representations, and empowerment of women and the vulnerable [48].…”

“…Crutzen [17] has proposed a new era of Earth's history, the Anthropocene, where no more natural phenomena (Holocene), but human activities are producing environmental destruction, the loss of ecosystem services, and the pollution of air, soil, and water. Based on the intersection between human, gender, and environmental security, an integrated HUGE-security and peace, Oswald [8] suggested conceptually to reduce threats from poverty, patriarchal institutions, and extreme natural events [2], often aggravated by failed human interventions and the dominance of the financial system [24]. These complex feedbacks were worsened during the last seven decades of capitalist acceleration, where Moore [54] insisted that it was not the environmental change [52], but the capitalist system that has produced human destruction of natural resources and the concentration of wealth by a small elite.…”

“…None of these theories has deepened in the root causes of patriarchy, which has produced violence, original accumulation of wealth, dominant power relations, and exploitation of people and nature. All these theories are maintaining the occidental understanding of dominance, power relations, and control, forgetting the exploitation in Global South, especially the vulnerable and poor women, girls, and old people [8]. After more than 500 years of colonialism and seven decades of neoliberal capitalism with an acceleration of the destruction of nature, climate change in the Anthropocene is again affecting highly the Global South.…”

“…The present chapter is first presenting a short methodological overview of interconnected, complex, and dissipative system processes [8], which are increasing multiple conflictive arenas, especially in the Global South. It is followed up with a synthetic review of the dominant peace approaches (realist, negative, positive, liberal or democratic, environmental, and cosmopolitan peace).…”

This article explores diverse peace paradigms from negative and realist to liberal, structural, and cosmopolitan peace. The liberal focus in a multi-diverse world with an occidental cosmopolitan pathway did not prevent global and regional wars, such as the present between Russia and Ukraine. The text focuses on a methodology of an open, dissipative, and self-regulating system on a decolonized bottom-up approach, where indigenous communities, representing 5% of the world population, conserve 80% of the remaining biodiversity. Women produce also half the food for their families and communities. Ethnic, economic, and gender discrimination are related to patriarchy that has devastated societies and the environment. Alternative HUGE (human, gender, and environmental) security is caring for vulnerable social groups and destroyed environments. Women’s care economy, subsistence production, sorority, and social solidarity from the bottom up are transforming violence inside society and families, centering on well-being and not capital accumulation. Reinforcing regional autonomy, gender, and indigenous equity also reduces the impacts of environmental footprints. This decolonized understanding represents an alternative model of the way of life in the Global South, based on engendered and sustainable peacebuilding for a sustainable future.

Risk Assessment and Adaptation to Climate Change Impacts in Mexico for Indigenous and Women

The present article<strong> </strong>studies the policy, numbers, and costs of disaster risk management (DRM) in Mexico, a country highly exposed to climate change, due to two oceans warming up. The PEISOR methodology facilitates interrelating complex interactions and pressures between the natural and the societal system (P), where dangerous effects (E) occur in extreme events, such as floods, landslides, and drought. The impacts (I) of global warming, the pressure of historical poverty, and vulnerable regions were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These societal outcomes (SO) are aggravated by gender and ethnic discrimination. The governmental response (R) has built up an alternative health system with access to medical attention. About DRM against climate catastrophes, loss and damage (L&D) policies prioritized cash transfers to affected people. This policy increased the dependency of poor people but produced electoral benefits for the leading party. Nevertheless, this DRM limits adaptation and resilience-building among social groups living in exposed regions mainly in the South, where indigenous groups suffer from low human development index and extreme poverty. The article also compares the quantitative costs of disasters in Mexico during the last five decades. Growing L&D invoices for the government and affected people occurred predominantly during the last decade. Worsening climate conditions, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, public insecurity, and extreme poverty, represent survival threats for exposed people, where only a local bottom-up resilience-building may create an integrated DRM. In conclusion, the reactive policy of L&D has raised the electoral support of needed people but limited adaption to deal with extremer climate impacts. The official DRM policy impacts allocated 96% of the disaster budget for reconstruction and emergency management and only 4% for prevention. Especially affected are women, girls, and indigenous people with the highest death toll. Empowering these vulnerable groups would create greater resilience, where training in care economy, and environmental restoration could reduce the risks. The lack of adaptation also created a dependency on foreign countries for climate advice, hurricane tracking, early warnings, and disaster recovery, where affected people are trapped in poverty and often forced to migrate.
