    ¿Cómo pensar los desafíos ambientales de cara a una nueva Constitución? preocupaciones ambientales en tiempos de cambio constitucional
    (2020) Reyes-Mendy, Francisca; Valenzuela Calderón, Matías; Chaura Vega, Catalina; Centro de Cambio Global UC
    El informe busca generar un insumo para discusiones futuras tanto en materias de políticas públicas de relevancia ambiental como de cambio/reforma constitucional. Se hace una revisión y análisis de temáticas ambientales surgidas de los cabildos realizados entre el 18 de octubre de 2019 y el 31 de enero de 2020. Adicionalmente, se realiza una revisión del proceso constituyente del segundo gobierno de Michelle Bachelet y la Consulta Constituyente Indígena. Los resultados indican que, a pesar de que muchos de los diálogos no fueron organizados con ese objetivo, los temas ambientales estuvieron presentes en el 68,4% de las instancias con actas disponibles.

    Exploring relationships between gender and collective action in artisanal fisher associations of Central Chile
    (2022) Vargas Poulsen, Camila; Rivera, Antonella; Ortiz, Veronica; Carlos Castilla, Juan; Estevez, Rodrigo A.; Reyes-Mendy, Francisca; Gelcich, Stefan
    fisher associations have experienced a shift towards gender inclusivity over the past decade. We used the social-ecological systems framework developed by Elinor Ostrom to explore relationships between gender and collective action. Questionnaires were used to determine (1) motivations to join an association, (2) socio-demographic information, (3) perceptions on key collective action dimensions around leadership and norms within the association, and (4) perceived social performance. Surveys targeted artisanal fisher associations in Chile with varying gender compositions: exclusively male members, exclusively female members, mixed-gender led by a man, and mixed -gender led by a woman. Our results show that women and men have distinct motivations to join an association. Women are primarily motivated by a sense of belonging, while men are mainly motivated by the possibility of an increase in income. Furthermore, associations comprised of women displayed higher valuations on leadership, entrepreneurship, and participation in activities. This likely led to the significantly higher performance of associations that incorporated women (either women-only or mixed gender) in efficiency (30.1%- 40.3% higher) and cooperation (13.8%-30. 8% higher). Our results extend the social-ecological systems framework towards understanding the role of gender in collective action for fisheries management and specifically contribute to build knowledge and implement novel policy which considers gender in artisanal fisheries in Chile.

    Legislative science advice in Chile: exploring twelve years of knowledge producers participation in environmental committee discussions
    (2024) Reyes-Mendy, Francisca; Crossley, Stefan Gelcich; Opazo-Pina, Valentina
    Exploring who participates in Congress committee hearings is key to assess how diverse and representative these spaces are. This article focuses on participation in Congress committees during the discussion of environmental bills in the last twelve years (2010-22) in Chile, specifically concentrating on the sub-group of knowledge producers - higher education, experts and think tanks - as committee hearings are a privileged access mechanism for science to reach the law-making process. Results show limited participation in addition to gender and geographical location biases in this sub-group of knowledge producers, raising concerns regarding the quantity and diversity of who provides evidence and research knowledge to Congress committees. These findings suggest further attention should be given to the way the participation of a more diverse group of knowledge producers to these privileged deliberative arenas can be improved.
