Abstract

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the strongest accounts of the ability of humans to influence ecosystems on a planetary scale. This is one of the pieces of evidence that we have become the most important driver of global changes in the planet. That is why the generation of actions that contribute to the construction of a sustainable relationship with our environment is everyone’s responsibility. Promoting the participation
of women in decision-making spaces and in the resolution of these challenges, combined with the socioeconomic effects produced by the health emergency (COVID-19) demand an urgency rather than a necessity. Therefore, universities must generate scenarios that call for and highlight the role of women in different STEM areas (Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering). This editorial describes the actions carried out at the Universidad del Norte - Colombia.
