“…De acuerdo con la recopilación de Platjouw, este enfoque ecosistémico, en un ámbito internacional, aparece en el derecho del mar a través de la Convención sobre el Derecho del Mar, el Acuerdo sobre Poblaciones de Peces de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, el Proceso de Consultas Oficiosas y la Asamblea General; en la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación, a través del Código de Conducta, el Comité de Pesca, las consultas de expertos y la Declaración de Reikiavik; la Agenda 21, la Declaración de Río, el Plan de Implementación de Johannesburgo y el Documento Final de Río+20, en las directivas de la Unión Europea, como en el caso de la Directiva Marco del Agua, entre otros instrumentos (Platjouw, 2016: 28-29). En tanto que, a nivel de países, es posible encontrar experiencias a nivel legal y en gestiones particulares (De Graaf, Platjouw y Tolsma, 2018;Korn, Schliep y Stadler, 2003;Lee, Regier y Rapport, 1982).…”

El año 2010 se reformó la institucionalidad ambiental de Chile y se creó el Consejo de Ministros para la Sustentabilidad (CMS). Antes de esta reforma cada sector podía dictar actos administrativos generales o específicos, sin contar con una integración coordinada en materias ambientales. Dada esta situación, se le entregó la competencia al CMS de pronunciarse sobre los proyectos de ley y actos administrativos que deriven tanto de la autoridad ambiental como de los organismos sectoriales con competencia en la materia. Sin embargo, tras diez años de implementada, es hace necesario revisar si la reforma ha cumplido el objetivo planteado. Para ello se revisaron los acuerdos adoptados por el CMS siguiendo las actas de sesión publicadas en la página web del organismo para el periodo comprendido entre 2010 y 2020. Los resultados muestran que la creación del CMS no ha contribuido significativamente a la incorporación de la variable ambiental. Además, se demuestra que los acuerdos relativos a las áreas protegidas juegan un rol relevante en la gestión conjunta que realiza el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente con otros ministerios sectoriales.

“…Yet, while some progress is seen at policy levels, applications of the concept in practice are slower to materialise (Hein et al 2016). Hansen et al (2015) argue that the challenges of operationalization are many, including translating the ES concept into legal systems for implementation (also extensively discussed in Stępniewska et al (2017), de Graaf et al (2017) and Mauerhofer (2017)).…”

Breaking the ecosystem services glass ceiling: realising impact

et al. 2019

Through changes in policy and practice, the inherent intent of the ecosystem services (ES) concept is to safeguard ecosystems for human wellbeing. While impact is intrinsic to the concept, little is known about how and whether ES science leads to impact. Evidence of impact is needed. Given the lack of consensus on what constitutes impact, we differentiate between attributional impacts (transitional impacts on policy, practice, awareness or other drivers) and consequential impacts (real, on-the-ground impacts on biodiversity, ES, ecosystem functions and human wellbeing) impacts. We conduct rigorous statistical analyses on three extensive databases for evidence of attributional impact (the form most prevalently reported): the IPBES catalogue (n = 102), the Lautenbach systematic review (n = 504) and a 5-year in-depth survey of the OPERAs Exemplars (n = 13). To understand the drivers of impacts, we statistically analyse associations between study characteristics and impacts. Our findings show that there exists much confusion with regard to defining ES science impacts, and that evidence of attributional impact is scarce: only 25% of the IPBES assessments self-reported impact (7% with evidence); in our meta-analysis of Lautenbach's systematic review, 33% of studies provided recommendations indicating intent of impacts. Systematic impact reporting was imposed by design on the OPERAs Exemplars: 100% reported impacts, suggesting the importance of formal impact reporting. The generalised linear models and correlations between study characteristics and attributional impact dimensions highlight four characteristics as minimum baseline for impact: study robustness, integration of policy instruments into study design, stakeholder involvement and type of stakeholders involved. Further in depth examination of the OPERAs Exemplars showed that study characteristics associated with impact on awareness and practice differ from those associated with impact on policy: to achieve impact along specific dimensions, bespoke study designs are recommended. These results inform targeted recommendations for ES science to break its impact glass ceiling.

“…In this summit, the importance of soils was recognized, as well as the need to protect them and their potential uses in the context of sustainable development, in particular against the contamination caused by activities of anthropogenic origin. This has led to the development of soil quality indicators with the purpose of preserving and improving the productivity of soils ( Doran & Parkin, 1996 ; Azapagic, 2004 ; Andrews, Karlen & Cambardella, 2004 ; Römbke et al, 2016 ; De Graaf, Platjouw & Tolsma, 2017 ; Turpin et al, 2017 ).…”

The aim of this work is to show a methodological proposal for the analysis of soil intervention values in mine tailings in order to determine the intervention requirements in the commune of Andacollo in northern Chile. The purpose of this analysis is to guide the intervention policies of both private and public organizations. The evaluation method is based on the Dutch legislation. The usability of the proposed methods depends on the available geochemical data from soil samples; in particular, we tackle the case when information regarding clay percentage in the soil is not available. We use the concepts of a threshold factor and an adjusted threshold factor to calculate a weighted intervention ranking. In order to illustrate the utility of this methodological proposal, a case study is carried out with the prescribed approach. In particular, this work presents an analysis of the elements of environmental significance related to the mining activity (Hg, Cd, Pb, As, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr) in the commune of Andacollo, Coquimbo Region, Chile. The analyzed samples are used to determine where the intervention of tailing deposits is necessary and where a solution to these environmental liabilities is required as soon as possible. Out of the 81 samples evaluated, it was found that 18 require a potential intervention, and of these samples, seven of them are associated with abandoned tailings that, in some cases, are located close to the town center itself, one sample is associated with active tailings and the other 10 with inactive tailings.
