Target Audience:
Socioeconomic and environmental characteristics of the area :
The COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020 in Peru, generating a multidimensional crisis that has claimed more than 190,000 deaths as of July 15, 2021. In the country, the traditional models for understanding epidemics are insufficient. We seek models that can help us understand the complex dynamics of the pandemic and its consequences in Peru.
Description of sustainable development challenge(s) in the area the project addresses:
Governments in South America have dealt with the pandemic emergency in the face of high uncertainty, weak social safety nets and a high rate of informal employment.
Status:
Completed
Period:
September, 2020
Rationale:
The pre-pandemic scenario in Peru is characterized by the growing dehumanization of life, dehumanization of knowledge, the commodification of basic needs, among other aspects.
A proposal is inquired to help us understand the complex dynamics of the pandemic and its consequences in Peru. Greater awareness of local and global public health and a change of path that leads us to policies for humanity and policies for civilization are required to regenerate life in Peru and the world.

Objectives:
Provide a proposal to understand the complex dynamics of the pandemic and its consequences in Peru.
To face the pandemic, humanity needs a change of path, an individual and social metamorphosis and a change in our relationship with nature, which would contribute to new policies.

Results:
- Publication (see Journal on Policy and Complex Systems • Volume 7, Number 1 • Spring 2021)
Lessons learned:
The coronavirus has shown us the fragility of the human condition and the impossibility of global markets to solve global problems such as the pandemic. A reform of thought is essential to change the instrumental reasoning of calculation and profit for an ethical and humanistic reasoning, which increases the solidarity of the human species and community life in order to survive Covid-19.
