The National Environment Strategy (ENA) 2021-2031 called "Environmental Management for the Restoration of Ecosystems and Sustainable and Inclusive Development" responds to a crucial moment in Panama, in which the State, as of March 2020, has been forced to provide health agencies with the necessary resources to confront the COVID-19 pandemic and to contribute to the family economy, as a result of the effects on the national economy that this scourge has generated. These circumstances have outlined new national priorities and a greater awareness of the need to lead the country towards economic, environmental and social sustainability.
