Resumen

El surgimiento y la prevalencia del neocolonialismo ecológico, una manifestación de las relaciones de poder históricamente persistentes y asimétricas entre los países desarrollados (Norte) y los países en desarrollo (Sur), plantean un desafío significativo para el logro global de los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas. La explotación depredadora de la naturaleza, especialmente en los países del hemisferio sur, y las políticas económicas agresivas han creado un patrón dañino de deuda ecológica atribuible a las naciones industrializadas. La biodiversidad del mundo, incluida la supervivencia de la especie humana, está en peligro debido a esta deuda ecológica, también conocida como pasivos ambientales, acumulada por el Norte debido a sus prácticas de producción y consumo. Esta deuda se intensifica por las actividades exploratorias contemporáneas, especialmente de las empresas transnacionales, que adoptan estrategias como la adquisición de territorios ecológicamente frágiles, el acto de biopiratería y el descuido de los conocimientos ancestrales indígenas. Además, un flujo comercial mundial asimétrico de recursos naturales amplifica la huella ecológica de los países ricos, yendo más allá de los límites de sus fronteras territoriales. Este desequilibrio, agravado aún más por la atribución injusta de los precios a diferentes factores productivos, fomenta la explotación de los entornos naturales por parte de los países endeudados, obstaculizando el desarrollo sostenible. A través de un análisis de esta relación de explotación Norte-Sur, este artículo examina el neocolonialismo ecológico y la deuda ecológica, dilucidando sus implicaciones para los ODS.
