they will leave us on the other side of the street
that was the citizen observation that
made a Chilean woman resident of the
commune of the mirror when it was intended
broaden and confine that is to close the
train line that passed next to his
house in chile and in many other countries
of the world when you are going to run a
project that will have incidence or
effects on the environment
this project is submitted to a period of
public consultation to a period of
citizen participation in chile that
period can last up to two months and
medium but in the case that we will see in
this talk a period that only
lasted 20 days in those 20 days it
hopes that people first know
that there is a project that is going to
run close to them know that
there is also an instance where
they can participate
people are expected to understand
What this project is to understand one
project that many times will have a
highly technical content that is
written in a language many times very
unfriendly and in hundreds of pages
of extension
people are also expected to be
able to identify what of this
project can affect how you can
impact on their day to day how can they
continue also in your health and your
custom
it is expected that later they write this
affectation and that finally the
submit to the authority in 20 days
this task if it is not impossible is
pretty titanic or heroic
now if we go back to the case of beginning this
train
the widening of the train the
improvement of the way and going to
benefit many people
many people who would have to
move daily between two cities
very important in Chile as they are
santiago and rancagua
the train is a cleaner transport and
it’s going to be faster I was going to have a
more often but this project
It was also going to affect the
communes that are near the strip
of the train
these communes also for the communes
with urban quality of life indexes
lowest of chile in particular the
commune of the mirror from which the
citizen observation that suits them
at the beginning it is the commune that has the
lowest urban quality index
among the problems that was going to involve
this project was that confinement
of the line
In short, it was putting a wall to put a
wall in a space that was previously open
and that therefore allowed the free
circulation in this period participate
a participation period was opened
citizen 200 people and organizations
participants chose the line me
generates a wall generates a wall that
divide such basic things as services
the school classroom of the school to the other the
police on one side and the houses on the other
firefighters classroom 2 and my house is at
another side of the line I’m going to stay
on the other side of the train line and that
it’s not going to mean a very
important therefore in my life
these two hundred people did the
titanic task that we saw earlier
they faced this file to
make observations
many of the citizen observations
was a yes a simple request for
empathy like this
gentlemen railways I wonder if
you lived in a department that
is one meter from the train line
with a widening project the
Sincerely
in this talk I want to tell you how
this project in particular the
observations that we have just seen
changed my way of understanding the
protection of the environment and
they changed my way of understanding these
three pillars environmental information
participation and access to
justice if we think about the
environment
probably the first images that
come to mind, it’s going to be a
landscape a very beautiful landscape
perhaps many of us think of forests in a
pristine river in the best
we will think of native species and if we
will put an impressive aucará araucaria
pudúes huemules and if this
It is definitely part of the medium
environment are elements of nature
but it is also part of the medium
environment the path that we all undertake
daily to our work to the
university is part of the environment
the space in which we share with
our families
and friends is that we are sharing
this precise moment is thanks to the means
environment that sustains it and therefore
the fact that she has not been able to cross
the street
it is an intrinsically
environmental
however this seems to be not very
intuitive
I do not know how much of the lyrics listening
this talk has felt that space in
who live
the space in which they travel daily
is being threatened that will change
and that they can not do anything because of that
can not do anything to change and to
most people that we live in
this world and that therefore we live in
cities we do not have a direct contact
with the problems that one would say are
typically environmental and that we
it prevents us from seeing that the river and in others the
same amount of water that are no longer
the same fish that the plants do not
they grow in the same way as the fruits
they are not the same but nevertheless if
we are in contact with the problems
environmental issues of cities and those
environmental problems sometimes are not as
he got in but many times they are very
obvious
the school that is next to a train that
She would happen ever faster and more
strong and you will feel that roar in
the classroom is experiencing a problem
very graphic environmental problems
environmental
many times they arise because of how we distribute
the environmental burdens and benefits
where is the annoying noise where is
the garbage where the pollution is
and also where is the silence
where is the darkness where they are
the green areas how do we distribute that
often generates problems
environmental and we can understand
that we are going to protect the environment
why are we going to say the environment
it has an intrinsic value I’m going to
protect the tree that is next
mine because it’s something intrinsically
good but that is very difficult for the
way in which we
we relate daily with the environment
ambient
but if we understand that that tree that
tree but that tree allows the
air that I breathe is cleaner that
tree gives me shelter gives me shade is
save allows live animals that
Then they will give me food
I understand the value of that to the goal because
is addressed and allows my own life and in
definitive is general
a different way of understanding my
protection of the environment
environmental problems have a
characteristic and is that they are so big
so ungraspable many times that I do not know
generates a feeling that we can
do we face a problem
environmental and the truth that my conviction
the conviction of the team with
work is that we citizens
we are or springs of changes
environmental or clearly protagonists of
the environmental changes
we can do a lot to change
the environmental situation and that will be what
that next they contagien
as we mentioned above the
environmental protection focuses
on how the environment relates
with us with humans
we protect long not for your
value but because of how he gives us help
us humans and so
the policies also work
public in environmental matters the
regulation the evaluations of
projects in environmental matters have
what to do with how they will affect the being
human and therefore what you have to
tell you about how much it affects you
a certain measure will be important
what you can say inform and
deliver to that procedure is going to be
key
the state has to consider those
opinions because that will depend on
greater efficiency that opinion is that
so much more complete are those opinions
In Chile, citizen participation has
changed air quality standards has
changed how the projects are executed
has given a quota of power to the
citizens that is incipient but the
has delivered and we have to
take charge of that quota of power
but to participate to involve them
in decisions
a clear first step is to inform us
they inform the first that they exist
instances of participation of
there are instances in which I can
say something about certain measure that
I could say something about how
I think this has to be executed from the
better way and that is a barrier but
probably the most important barrier
will dare to participate
many times we citizens do not
being scientists or technicians
specialists in one in a subject
we will say that I can say about the
my best policy
such of this country that I can say I
about what is the best way to
build a train that I can tell myself to
near the wall that will live with me
community and that effectively never
we can say the same as going to a
technician a specialist but if we
let’s step back a little
when truly what we know
of our environment
we truly know the medium
environment that not with which we
we relate to daily and when we
we face that we will face a
perhaps disappointing since it does not
we know a lot about the environment that
around us
let’s act by actor the state the
state has not devoted much resources to
know the environment
if we see for example the Chilean case
we do not know the day the state knows
how much glaciers do we have and what is their
been being that the glaciers are
strategic reserves of vital water is
a knowledge that we would say
which is clear that we have to have but
apparently we do not have it
the company the private world also
generates information generates information
very important but also very
specific project executions
individuals and information also not
testable
the academy also generates information
but information many times also
specific and contingent funds
particular
then we are the ones
citizens and civil society in
we got a very important role
in generating information with
we are the ones who will live the
changes that we will observe in a
first instance and today with the
collaborative networking technology
that we can generate to generate more
more complete information information
they are unique and we have to take advantage
of them also at the beginning of this
I told them I’m going to talk about
information participation and access to
Justice
you will wonder what relationship
has the information and the
participation with justice
good one of the relationships you have is
that my right to obtain information neither
right to participate and sometimes even
right to what I say that
participation be considered is something
that I can take to a court and
demand it
I can say in this case my
observation was not considered in this
case when I said that the temps
It was from the community not me
consider and that can be seen by a court
then but now some are
asking good what happened to the
observations to the line of three that
the courts said when
people stayed on the other side of the
good street in the first instance the
courts gave the reason and religion
in this case we have considered the
observations made by the community
connectivity matter
effectively this product this
project means a problem and so
So much should revalue should revalue do
a train line like the pension a
start however for a problem
procedural
this is a real case finally this
decision was taken backwards and the
community had to start again
the whole process
However, three years had already passed
since the project was approved
and the project was already built the
wall was injured
the exits were arranged the
story is not over
these stories do not end so easy
the environmental samples are struggles of
long breath and probably one of the
other barriers to which we
we will face will be the barrier of
time the communities that protect their
territories
many times he always faces this
barrier
There are many conflicts in the world
environmental and in Chile supposedly
we are one of the countries with more
environmental conflicts that exist
according to the latest index of the institute
of human rights in Chile there are 102
environmental conflicts and this index does not
we can read in two ways
the first one is clearly
true negative do we have a
territory full of disputes
we do not have consensus we do not have
instances to generate collaboration
with the different actors but also
we can give green a second look
with a second reading is that we are
starting to make visible a dispute to
make visible a conflict of how
we have to understand the territories of
how we have to know the
territories of which we live and
what are the factors that have to
say in those territories
is perhaps a dispute that has always
existed but that today is visible to
perform something that is worth highlighting
is that many times conflicts
environmental problems afflict communities
poorest and it is also the case that
we saw at the beginning were the communes with
the quality of life indexes more
low
the distribution of loads and letter
benefits in environmental matters is
unequal and that inequality
many times it has to do with the
income and that generates a responsibility
in all of us in doing these
rights part of our lives and in
communicate these rights to photos in
Become part of our territories
to participate in the decisions that
we take
then the invitation is ultimately
participate inform yourself and demand it
question that nobody wants to see the
another side of the street more
