“…As Hill and Williams (2009, p. 166) point out ''the allocation of less than 3% of National funding to (indigenous) organisations responsible for managing the 20% of Australia with such outstanding conservation significance and important management challenges represents a policy failure.'' Where Anangu are keen to engage with local NRM this should be significantly resourced over longer timeframes for social and economic development within remote communities (Berry et al, 2010). As such, Caring for Country may need to evolve over time to provide more permanent employment positions in remote Anangu communities through such schemes as the Working for Country and IPA programmes (DSEWPC, 2011).…”

“…Al mismo tiempo, el cambio climático puede ofrecer oportunidades para desarrollar capital social, asociatividad y mejor capacidad adaptativa, por ejemplo cuando las comunidades participan activamente en el cuidado de su entorno y en el desarrollo del lugar donde viven, favoreciendo un mejor bienestar emocional y social (Berry, 2009;Berry, Butler et al, 2010).…”

RESUMEnMúltiples estudios señalan que para abordar integralmente la problemática del cambio climá-tico es fundamental incorporar factores psicoló-gicos y sociales en el diseño, implementación y evaluación de estrategias de mitigación y adaptación. Estos factores resultan claves para incrementar la importancia del cambio climático en la agenda pública, favorecer un mayor involucramiento ciudadano y fortalecer la resiliencia individual, social e institucional, así como el im pacto de las políticas. No obstante, en Chile el estudio de los aspectos psicológicos del cambio climático es muy limitado.Por su extensión este trabajo se presenta en dos partes. En esta primera parte se pre senta una revisión bibliográfica que explora los principales ámbitos del cambio climático en los que la Psicología puede contribuir para comprender las complejidades del problema. Esto se organiza en cuatro grandes ejes: (1) la comunicación del cambio climático, (2) el estudio de cre encias, actitudes, valores y conductas relaciona das con el problema, (3) la identificación de facilitadores y barreras psicológicas para la implementación de prácticas de mitigación y adaptación y (4) los impactos del cambio climático en la salud mental. Estos ejes constituyen un marco de referencia para el posterior desarrollo de ámbi tos de acción que se apliquen específicamente al contexto chileno.Palabras clave: Cambio climático; Psicología, Chi le; Conductas pro-ambientales; Adaptación.

“…Evidence supports indigenous people's view that the health of their people and their country are integrally related and indicates that engagement in "caring for country" can be a pathway that improves indigenous people's health (Burgess et al 2009, Berry et al 2010. The term "country" (Stanner 1965, Myers 1986, Rose 1996) is widely used by indigenous people to encapsulate land, waters, plants, and animals together with multifaceted relationships that link people and various elements of their customary estates as described by Prober et al (2011) and Holmes and Jampijinpa (2013).…”

ABSTRACT. Increasing attention to formal recognition of indigenous and community conserved areas (ICCAs) as part of national and/or global protected area systems is generating novel encounters between the customary institutions through which indigenous peoples and local communities manage these traditional estates and the bureaucratic institutions of protected area management planning. Although management plans are widely considered to be important to effective management of protected areas, little guidance has been available about how their form and content can effectively reflect the distinctive socio-cultural and political characteristics of ICCAs. This gap has been particularly apparent in Australia where a trend to rapidly increased formal engagement of indigenous people in environmental management resulted, by 2012, in 50 indigenous groups voluntarily declaring their intent to manage all or part of their estates for conservation in perpetuity, as an indigenous protected area (IPA). Development and adoption of a management plan is central to the process through which the Australian Government recognizes these voluntary declarations and invests resources in IPA management. We identified four types of innovations, apparent in some recent IPA plans, which reflect the distinctive socio-cultural and political characteristics of ICCAs and support indigenous people as the primary decision makers and drivers of knowledge integration in IPAs. These are (1) a focus on customary institutions in governance; (2) strategic planning approaches that respond to interlinkages of stewardship between people, place, plants, and animals; (3) planning frameworks that bridge scales by considering values and issues across the whole of an indigenous people's territory; and (4) varied communication modes appropriate to varied audiences, including an emphasis on visual and spatial modes. Further research is warranted into how governance and management of IPAs, and the plans that support these processes, can best engender adaptive management and diverse strong partnerships while managing the risk of partners eroding local control.
