A socially responsible territory not only seeks to meet current needs but also promotes the well-being of future generations, balancing economic development, social justice, and environmental sustainability. This involves designing policies and strategies that integrate all sectors of the population, ensuring their access to resources, services, and opportunities. This governance model fosters transparency, reduces corruption, and ensures that public policies respond to the real needs of the inhabitants.
In the economic sphere, ethical business models that generate shared value must be promoted, recognizing that businesses have the ability to transform communities. Building a socially responsible state is not only a desirable goal but a moral and strategic obligation. Both documents aim to promote economic development from their respective areas of competence with a medium- and long-term vision, with ambitious goals.
In this context, the favorable possibility arises to promote the construction of a 'Socially Responsible State' in Querétaro, which would aim to improve the quality of life of the population, focusing on human, economic, and environmental well-being. The construction of this socially responsible state is an urgent necessity. A state that prioritizes education, health, dignified employment for all, and strengthens the social fabric. Building a socially responsible state requires a sustainable approach.
Population growth, accelerated urbanization, and environmental and social crises have highlighted the urgency of rethinking our territorial dynamics under principles of social responsibility. When communities have a voice and decision-making power over their environment, the sense of belonging and co-responsibility increases. Decision-making must actively involve citizens, businesses, and civil society organizations. Only then, in line with the presented plans, can we achieve a more resilient, equitable, and prosperous state, prepared to face the challenges of the present and the future.
The impacts of climate change compel us to rethink our development practices and incorporate renewable energies, promote a circular economy, efficient public transport, and prioritize the conservation of ecosystems, as key actions to ensure the state's resilience. Another fundamental pillar is participatory governance. At the beginning of last week, the Federal Government presented the so-called 'Mexico Plan', and last Friday, the State Government did the same with 'The Long-Term Strategic Plan, Querétaro 2050'.
