FEDELCOPRO crea conciencia del Cambio Climático. 8/9/18

Efectivamente, nos han contactado de Action Network, (350.org) señalándonos la celebración mundial de un día de eventos para aumentar la ambición de nuestras acciones contra el Cambio Climático el 8/9/18.
Convinimos que era una ocasión perfecta para empezar a difundir (o darle nuevo contenido -probablemente en el formato de Talanoa-, nuestra estrategia de transmisión de capacidades o creación de conocimiento, con un hecho global, que nos permitiría dar coherencia global a nuestro llamado y eventualmente dar a conocer nuestro Proyecto Qiao, puede ser en una etapa mas desarrollada.
Hemos creado en la pagina web dispuesta para ese fin, de un evento con tal propósito. Tenemos mucho que afinar en conjunto, así como tareas concretas de comunicaciones que ya hemos iniciado en la FEDERACIÓN DE COLEGIOS PROFESIONALES DE CHILE y de las cuales, esta página, así como sus entradas, dan cuenta. Para convocarlo, es que ha recibido este correo de marcha blanca.

En 2017, el aumento de temperatura medio global en el mundo es de 1,2°C


El acuerdo de Paris (COP21, 2015), supone esfuerzos globales por una transición justa hacia Energías Renovables No Convencionales (ERNC), entre 2020 y 2030, para no superar el aumento de temperatura más allá de 2°C globales y realizar esfuerzos por mantener la temperatura por bajo del 1,5° C de calentamiento. Como el aumento de temperatura proviene de las concentraciones de CO2 en la atmósfera, hay que limitar las emisiones de GEI, mediante esfuerzos de Mitigación. Pero, como nuestro país emite el 3% de las emisiones del globo, su aporte -haga la que haga- no será determinante. Las acciones de Adaptación a los efectos ya presentes o por venir de los fenómenos climáticos, salvarán vidas y pueden tener un efecto de réplica, muy beneficioso, a la vez que aprendemos de la experiencia. Nuestro país Chile ha ratificado el acuerdo, y entregado el 2017 su segunda contribución NDC. Las Contribuciones Determinadas Nacionalmente, son voluntarias y siguen el principio de la CMNUCC, "según responsabilidades comunes, pero diferenciadas".

SBSTTA 22 Highlights
Saturday, 7 July 2018 | Montreal, Canada
Visit our IISD/ENB Meeting Coverage from Montreal, Canada at:http://enb.iisd.org/biodiv/sbstta22-sbi2/

SBSTTA 22 convened for its final day on Saturday. In the morning parties considered the remaining conference room papers (CRPs) on:
  • Risk assessment and risk management of living modified organisms (LMOs);
  • Marine and coastal biodiversity; and
  • Digital sequence information (DSI)
In the afternoon, SBSTTA 22 adopted ten draft recommendations. 
Risk Assessment and Risk Management of LMOs
Tim Strabala (New Zealand), Chair of the contact group on risk assessment and risk management of LMOs, reported back to plenary on the group’s deliberations. 
SBSTTA Chair Theresa Mundita Lim introduced document CBD/SBSTTA/22/CRP.8. The Secretariat introduced text initially agreed by the Friends of the Chair group on synthetic biology. The new paragraphs recognize that, as there could be potential adverse effects arising from organisms containing engineered gene drives, before these organisms are considered for release into the environment, research and analysis are needed, and specific guidance may be useful, to support case-by-case risk assessment. They further note the conclusions of the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on synthetic biology that, given the current uncertainties regarding engineered gene drives, the free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) might be warranted when considering the possible release of organisms containing engineered gene drives that may impact their traditional knowledge, innovation, practices, livelihoods, and use of land and water.
With these, and some minor amendments, the recommendation was approved.
Marine and Coastal Biodiversity 
SBSTTA Chair Lim introduced document CBD/SBSTTA/22/CRP.9 and contact group Chair Moustafa Fouda (Egypt) reported on the group’s discussions.
Delegates proceeded to review the document paragraph-by-paragraph. While they agreed on a number of minor changes, the main text was left with two key bracketed elements. The first disagreement pertained to a proposed reference to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) as “providing the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out,” in accordance with UN General Assembly resolution 64/71. The UK, supported by MOROCCO and GREECE, and opposed by TURKEY, highlighted that this was consistent with previous CBD decisions. 
Views further diverged over calling for collaboration and information sharing regarding the use of scientific information related to ecologically or biologically significant marine areas 
(EBSAs) “in the application of relevant area-based management tools,” with the UK, supported by GREECE, DENMARK, and ICELAND, emphasizing that management implications are beyond the scope of EBSAs. GERMANY and TURKEY opposed, stressing the relevance of sharing information generated in the EBSA process.  
In discussing the annex on options for modifying the description of EBSAs, divergences over the need to stress the scientific and technical nature of reasons to modify EBSAs were resolved. Agreement was found on the modalities for modifying EBSAs in areas beyond national jurisdiction, which are to also apply for areas within national jurisdiction if the coastal state wishes. Questions that could not be resolved, inter alia, related to: 
  • whether to highlight that modifications of EBSAs in areas beyond national jurisdiction should be made without prejudice to developments in the UN General Assembly process on biodiversity in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction, with GREECE in favor, and TURKEY opposed;
  • modifications to EBSAs within national jurisdiction, with disagreement relating to whether the updated EBSA description was to be submitted to SBSTTA and the COP for consideration; and
  • modifications to EBSAs within the national jurisdiction of multiple states, with parties diverging on referring to the “relevant” coastal states, the states “which exercise sovereignty,” “with sovereign rights” or “with jurisdiction over the area,” and whether this should be done “in consultation with other states concerned.”Similar disagreement remained regarding which actors can initiate the description of new areas meeting the EBSA criteria.
Digital Sequence Information
Hesiquio Benítez Díaz (Mexico), Co-Chair of the contact group on DSI, provided an overview of the group’s deliberations. He noted that the contact group could not reach consensus, the document contains many brackets, and the draft recommendations to the CBD COP and the Nagoya Protocol COP-MOP are completely bracketed. 
JAPAN requested clarification on the status of DSI in relation to the criteria for new and emerging issues, contained in decision IX/29, noting that due process should be followed. The Secretariat noted that SBSTTA’s mandate was given directly from CBD decision XIII/16. He stressed while one way to address new and emerging issues is via the relevant criteria, this does not limit the ability of the COP or the COP-MOPs to place items on the agenda.  
MEXICO lamented that the Convention still fails, after 25 years, to properly address its third objective. She emphasized that the claim that DSI is intangible and therefore not subject to benefit-sharing obligations when used for commercial purposes, jeopardizes the Convention. 
Cameroon, for AFRICA, expressed deep concern about the lack of progress, noting that an important reason for failure to protect biodiversity is that its custodians do not derive the proper benefits that would incentivize the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. She urged all parties to find consensus at COP 14. 
BRAZIL underscored that a pragmatic proposal was made to simplify measures of access for non-commercial research as a trade-off for fair and equitable benefit-sharing, lamenting resistance from some developed countries to discuss DSI with regard to the third objective of the Convention, and noting that “science, the conservation of biodiversity, and the Convention all lose.”
Consideration of L Documents
SBSTTA Chair Lim introduced the “L documents” for adoption.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.2 (protected areas) was adopted with an amendment, proposed by BOLIVIA, with VENEZUELA, and initially opposed by NORWAY, to require “to obtain” FPIC of IPLCs, rather than to require “steps be taken in order to consult to obtain” FPIC, in the context of territories and areas under the governance of IPLCs.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.3 (IPBES) was adopted with a minor, editorial amendment.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.4 (invasive alien species (IAS)) was adopted with an amendment reflecting the EU’s request that the AHTEG’s terms of reference contained in Annex II follow SBSTTA’s modus operandi, and that a clause for the AHTEG to report back to SBSTTA prior to COP 15 should be included. MEXICO reiterated that references to trade in “live species” should be replaced by “live organisms” throughout the document.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.5 (pollinators) was adopted with an amendment, proposed by BOLIVIA, to add a preambular acknowledgement of the importance of pollinators to IPLCs. A proposal made by MEXICO on genetically modified crops carrying traits for herbicide tolerance or insect resistance was bracketed.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.6 (synthetic biology) was adopted without amendments.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.7 (climate change) was adopted with an amendment, proposed by BOLIVIA, to include reference to ecosystem functions as well as services, in addition to textual clarifications to various paragraphs suggested by CANADA and FRANCE.
CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.8 (marine and coastal biodiversity) was adopted with amendments, including ARGENTINA’s proposal to place two sub-paragraphs, on who can initiate and propose modification of EBSAs within national jurisdiction, in brackets.
Updated Scientific Assessment of Progress towards Selected Aichi Targets and Options to Accelerate Progress
SBSTTA Chair Lim introduced document CBD/SBSTTA/22/CRP.1/Rev.1. 
Vincent Fleming (UK), facilitator of the drafting group, noted the document is the result of extensive negotiations and significant compromise. 
The EU noted that Annex I, which contains only reference documents, should be replaced by a footnote. Following a proposal by BELGIUM, brackets around welcoming the possible options to accelerate progress towards the achievement of the Aichi Targets were removed.
On a reference to Aichi Target 6 (fisheries), JAPAN suggested deleting reference to the “continuing” decline in the sustainability of the world’s fisheries. Regarding Target 9 (IAS), ITALY suggested the eradication of IAS already present. 
CAMEROON proposed a new paragraph on Target 18 (traditional knowledge), to increase efforts in protection and respect for traditional knowledge and make use of information contained in local biodiversity outlooks on customary sustainable use of IPLCs to, inter alia, contribute to the reporting on progress in implementation of the Aichi Targets.
BOLIVIA suggested referencing “ecosystem functions and services” in different parts of the document. MEXICO proposed reference to production and consumption patterns in relation to the consideration of direct and indirect impact of policies on biodiversity. 
With these amendments, the CRP was adopted as an L document.
Election of Officers
Delegates elected as new SBSTTA Bureau members: Marina von Weissenberg (Finland), with Norbert Bärlocher (Switzerland) as alternate; Hesiquio Benítez Díaz (Mexico), with Helena Jeffery-Brown (Antigua and Barbuda) as alternate; Larbi Sbaï (Morocco), with Moustafa Fouda (Egypt) as alternate; Bounkham Vorachit (Lao PDR), with Byoungyoon Lee (Republic of Korea) as alternate; and Sergiy Gubar (Ukraine) for a second term, with Oleg Borodin (Belarus) as alternate. 
Closure of the Meeting
Rapporteur Samuel Diémé (Senegal) introduced the report of the meeting (CBD/SBSTTA/22/L.1), which was adopted with one minor amendment.
CBD Executive Secretary Cristiana Paşca Palmer highlighted that the meeting demonstrated the urgent need to accelerate progress towards achieving the Aichi Targets. Drawing attention to recommendations on protected areas, ecosystem-based adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and pollinators, she stressed the need to operationalize outcomes, engage new stakeholders, and develop transformative solutions.
SBSTTA Chair Lim urged participants to make the most of the 900 days left to implement the Strategic Plan and its Aichi Targets.
Maldives, for ASIA/PACIFIC, stressed the need for funding developing country delegates, and accelerating implementation of the Aichi Targets and development of the post-2020 biodiversity framework.
Austria, for the EU, expressed readiness to step up actions to maximize efforts to achieve the Aichi Targets. She noted that some topics, while of a scientific and technical nature, often entail political considerations, and looked forward to addressing them at the COP.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, for CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE, highlighted SBSTTA 22 as an opportunity to enhance regional discussions, noting the benefits of regional cooperation for, inter alia, implementation, monitoring, and capacity building.
Egypt, on behalf of AFRICA, congratulated all on progress made during the meeting, and stressed that the good work needs to continue in Sharm el Sheikh. 
Mexico, on behalf of LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN, highlighted the CBD is undergoing a learning process, inter alia, pointing to the mainstreaming of biodiversity across sectors and the development of the post-2020 biodiversity framework.  
The International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity, for IPLCs, called on parties to continue supporting the full and effective participation of IPLCs in CBD meetings.
Third World Network lamented the meeting was a missed opportunity to move forward on DSI, and urged parties to make concrete progress on the issue at COP 14.
SBSTTA Chair Lim gaveled the meeting to a close at 6:43 pm.
In the Corridors  
With a sigh of relief, or possibly exhaustion, SBSTTA 22 finished its work on Saturday. Amid World Cup distractions causing occasional cheers and groans, delegates diligently worked through all ten draft recommendations to present to the COP in Sharm el Sheikh in November. Many were pleased with the draft recommendations on marine and coastal biodiversity, noting that the revised text was even stronger than the original conference room paper. While there is text remaining in brackets, there was optimism in the corridors that the issues could be resolved in Egypt. The future of the recommendations on DSI are still in question, however, as the entire document remains bracketed, and developed and developing countries have not managed to bridge the divide over access and benefit sharing of DSI on genetic resources. Those delegates remaining in Montreal for the SBI left the building looking forward to a well-deserved day off before negotiations begin anew.

Transición Justa. OIT 2015

Following the decision of the Governing Body, the Office convened the Tripartite Meeting of Experts1 from 5–9 October 2015 to:

– review, amend and adopt draft guidelines based on a compilation and thorough review by the Office of experiences from country policies and sectoral strategies towards environmental sustainability, the greening of enterprises, social inclusion and the promotion of green jobs;
– distil lessons and good practices in respect of policy formulation in each of the nine policy areas identified in the just transition framework, through tripartite dialogue;
– recommend ways to give practical effect to the guidelines in terms of their dissemination and practical application at the country level by constituents and adopt policy guidelines on a just transition towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies for all.

The following guidelines as agreed by the Experts are meant to provide non-binding practical orientation to Governments and social partners with some specific options on how to formulate, implement and monitor the policy framework, in accordance with national circumstances and priorities.

Our Vision and principles
1. The four pillars of the Decent Work Agenda – social dialogue, social protection, rights at work and
employment – are indispensable building blocks of sustainable development and must be at the centre
of policies for strong, sustainable and inclusive growth and development.
2. Sustainable development means that the needs of the present generation should be met without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development has
three dimensions –economic, social, and environmental– which are interrelated, of equal importance
and must be addressed together.
3. Sharing a common global purpose, there are different approaches, models and tools available to each
country, in accordance with its national circumstances and priorities to achieve sustainable development
in its three dimensions, which is our overarching goal.
4. A just transition for all towards an environmentally sustainable economy, as described in this docume
nt, needs to be well managed and contribute to the goals of decent work for all, social inclusion and the
eradication of poverty.
5. Decent work, poverty eradication and environmental sustainability are three of the defining
challenges of the twenty-first century. Economies must be productive to meet the needs of the world’s
growing population. Societies must be inclusive, providing opportunities for decent work for all,
reducing inequalities and effectively eliminating poverty.
6. When referring to the greening of economies, enterprises and jobs, we consider it in the context of
sustainable development and poverty eradication. This is one of the important tools for achieving
sustainable development and could provide options for policy- making. In this context, we welcome
the document “The Future We Want” adopted by the United Nations Conference on Sustainable
Development (Rio +20).
7. The greening of economies presents many opportunities to achieve social objectives: it has the
potential to be a new engine of growth, both in advanced and developing economies, and a net
generator of decent, green jobs that can contribute significantly to poverty eradication and social
inclusion. The greening of economies will enhance our ability to manage natural resources sustainably,
increase energy efficiency and reduce waste, while addressing inequalities and enhancing resilience.
The greening of jobs and the promotion of green jobs, both in traditional and emerging sectors, will
foster a competitive, low-carbon, environmentally sustainable economy and patterns of sustainable
consumption and production, and contribute to the fight against climate change.
8. Managed well, transitions to environmentally and socially sustainable economies can become a
strong driver of job creation, job upgrading, social justice and poverty eradication. Greening all
enterprises and jobs by introducing more energy and resource efficient practices, avoiding pollution
and managing natural resources sustainably leads to innovation, enhances resilience and generates
savings which drive new investment and employment.
9. Sustainable development is only possible with the active engagement of the world of work.
Governments, employers and workers are not passive bystanders, but rather agents of change, who are
able to develop new ways of working that safeguard the environment for
present and future generations, eradicate poverty and promote social justice by fostering sustainable
enterprises and creating decent work for all.
10. The path to environmentally sustainable development involves a wide range of efforts and activities
from the ILO and member States, who have widely varying capabilities and ability to act in accordance
with the reality of each State. In that context, cooperation, information sharing and joint action within
the mandate of the ILO will be valuable.
11. We recall the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities as set out in the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (1992).

Adaptación y Creación de Capacidades

                                       IPCC AR5 WGII 2015 (con subtítulos al español)




lafe

Although our Project incorpores and adequately treat the following issues, that have to be to that end developed, after a month to have entered our proposal we have to face the work on some communicational tasks that seems relevant to empower the F. Even if the Qiao Plan didn´t worked. Let´s say now, that I consider as a great opportunity and an unexpected chance, to participate in this stage with the Federation, that I am just for this purpose met.

In second place, let us recognize some conditions of communication. First of all it has nothing to do with propaganda nor with the market. In communications, we have not to convince anyone of anything cause what we will communicate between us is generated as a loop of feedback.

Third, we should develop a communications campaign between our associates. Climate Change is at the same time the form and the content. As it is our conceptual framework to be facilitators of a common made conscience, or bottom up approach, the first step is to contact them. At the same time, we have to work preparing materials. On of them is a battery of Surveys, that with questions related to their actual knowledge of climate change, will allow us to map their intrests and contact them after on its bases.

Siguiendo un modelo de análisis situacional, que sin necesariamente ser validado en términos académicos, habría de demostrar aquí la coherencia de su implementación, se articula como un marco teórico o en las propias palabras de E. Ostrom, como un Marco “meta-teórico”, por estar justamente la teoría contemporánea concebida como una instancia hecha a partir de la contribución de todos (ver las tres eras de la comunicación de lenguajes: oralidad, texto e imagen y sus contenidos de transmisión, relacionados).  Así, tratando de establecer un Modelo de Análisis Institucional en Desarrollo (MAID), consideraremos que hay cinco tipos de actores involucrados, sobre los cuales nuestra acción concertada ha de presentar un nivel de impacto posible: los que están elegidos en los colegios (directos), los miembros de los colegios (activos), los profesionales de las disciplinas, que deben ser contactados por los colegios (potenciales), las personas a la cual los profesionales llegan en su trabajo (impacto esperado), y la ciudadanía en general (impacto cultural).

Así tenemos que establecer un Mapa de Actores, en la Federación. De dos maneras que se articulan es ello posible: todos los que ocupan cargos en los Colegios respectivos, luego los miembros pasivos y luego los miembros eventuales. Pero también, segundo: por el nivel de interés que demuestren en seguir y colaborar activamente con nuestras actividades.

Creo conveniente presentarlo como un Plan de Comunicaciones Estratégicas, que debe vincularse con las propuestas del Plan Nacional de Adaptación (anteriormente subido), en las líneas de Capacity Building y Fortalecimeinto Institucional. Para ello, habría que contactar al MMA y ver de hacer un puente con Educación, CORFO, ASCC, y otros. Particularmente interesante resulta en este sentido, el ámbito de los ODS y de como se articulan con los NDC del Acuerdo de Paris.

From Chile´s NDC


TENTATIVE NATIONAL CONTRIBUTION OF CHILE (INDC) FOR THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT 2015 Government of Chile

Chile requires a systematized strategy to strengthen national and international capacities in the face of Climate Change. Although from the Ministry of the Environment and in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, efforts have been made to implement south-south-north cooperation projects that allow building and strengthening capacities in the country in terms of Climate Change, today the country can foresee the availability of information and valuable learning to put at the service of their citizens, particularly those most vulnerable, but also that of their peers under the UNFCCC.

In coordination with the Ministry of Education, Chile has introduced - albeit incipiently - the challenges and opportunities of climate change in curricular meshes of students and teachers. It has also sought to generate platforms for the management and dissemination of information on Climate Change. These efforts must continue, be increased and disseminated, with prospects for south-south cooperation. The country aspires to have educated citizens on sustainable, inclusive, resilient and low carbon development.

4.2. National Contribution Tentative on development and capacity building

4.2.1. The development of projection models that Chile can share and disseminate nationally and internationally, with both individual and joint efforts with other countries available.

4.2.2. Conducting seminars jointly with those countries willing to provide training and training support to nations that require it, in the preparation and communication of their tentative national contributions, inventories of greenhouse gas emissions, national communications, biennial reports update and appropriate national mitigation actions (NAMAs).

4.2.3. The development of promotion instruments for research and development of capacities at the national and sub-national levels, strengthening the response capacity of communities and local governments, in order to strengthen the national adaptive capacity, through institutional development and strengthening of the capacities of those groups and sectors of the country that are most vulnerable to the impacts of Climate Change.

Thus, Chile expects to have a baseline on the financing of climate change at the national level, being able to identify and systematize financial flows according to their origin, national and international public and private expenditure and, eventually, according to their execution

Subsidiary lines already considered in PANCC

Subsidiary lines (of strategic developments in Chile).

In this sense, PANCC I established a strategic line of "Creation and Capacity Building" whose main objective was "to disseminate and raise awareness among citizens, in the face of environmental problems and, in particular those arising from climate change, fostering education, awareness and research on this subject in Chile ".

Under this strategic line, PANCC I considered eight priority action lines, among which are the elaboration of a National Program of Education and Sensitization in Climate Change, the evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility to establish a basic national comprehensive network both atmospheric, as oceanic and terrestrial, for the monitoring and study of climate change, the elaboration of a national registry of glaciers, and the strengthening of the national institutionality to address climate change.

The National Education and Awareness Program was prepared by MINEDUC and considered some actions such as: preparation of the "Teaching Support Guide for Climate Change", training and accreditation of 600 teachers in the Metropolitan Region, development of practical workshops on change climate change and carbon footprint. The poster "How to become a Sustainable Educational Community" and educational material such as "Sustainable Development in Early Childhood Education" was also prepared and distributed in the country's educational establishments. Likewise, the contents related to climate change have been considered in the new Curricular Bases and respective Basic Education Study Programs. 

On the other hand, the MMA implemented the Sustainable Districts and Climate Change Program and has established relevant alliances for capacity building and technical assistance, with various actors including the Federal Republic of Germany, the European Commission, the Kingdom of Spain and the Bank. World, among others.

Qiao Project


La Federación de Colegios Profesionales de Chile, ha concebido implementar los Diálogos de Talanoa, como una forma de generar conciencia del Cambio Climático, en la perspectiva de una política de Desarrollo de Capacidades en cinco esferas de actividad:  a) entre nuestros colegios profesionales y sus asociados, b) con otros organismos gubernamentales relacionados, c ) con el sector privado, d) con las universidades, e) con la sociedad en general.


Dos años después del Acuerdo de París COP21, 2015, en noviembre del año 2017, la COP 23 junto con reafirmar los compromisos establecidos y subrayar la importancia de las acciones a largo plazo, fortalecer las instituciones y gobiernos de los países y generar mecanismos de transparencia, verificación y contabilidad (VMR), ha establecido los Diálogos de Talanoa como una señal inequívoca del criterio superior de inclusividad, que marca desde entonces los enfoques de la política mundial, como un plan de acción para preparar la implementación de los NDC a partir de 2020.

Basado en la tradición cultural de las Islas del Pacífico, los Diálogos de Talanoa buscan construir compromisos duraderos entre los participantes, en un espíritu constructivo y transparente, que excluya cualquier espíritu de confrontación y se articule en la comprensión de los elementos comunes que compartimos, sin exclusión de ningún grupo o persona.

Los Diálogos de Talanoa significan, una interesante síntesis simbólica de los tiempos: el futuro de las nuevas tecnologías limpias y el pasado -hecho presente-, de la noble tradición humana de respeto por la naturaleza y lo mejor de las relaciones entre las personas, así preservada para todos. En los siguientes dos años de 2019-2018, nosotros, la Federación de Colegios Profesionales de Chile, con la ayuda de Qiao Plan, tenemos la intención de desarrollar un ambicioso programa de Creación de Capacidades sobre Cambio Climático, entre todos nuestros afiliados y la sociedad en general, utilizando la metodología colaborativa de los Diálogos de Talanoa.

La Federación de Colegios Profesionales de Chile, es un organismo realmente multidisciplinario, con células organizadas reales, de afiliados activos en todo el país. Las diferentes profesiones representadas en la Federación, son una muestra amplia de todas las diferentes disciplinas de especialización profesional de nuestra sociedad, expresando una amplia y profunda gama de comportamientos humanos y sociales, que actúa cotidianamente en todos los sectores de la sociedad, los que son urgentemente necesarios para comprender las causas, los efectos y los problemas abiertos por el cambio climático y la transición a economías con bajas emisiones de carbono. Una sociedad como la chilena aplastada por la desigualdad económica y las crecientes tendencias de generalizada incomprensión y falta de diálogo, con lazos históricos y culturales muy debilitados, encuentra en nuestra propuesta, un medio muy importante para llenar la brecha entre grupos e individuos, con el fin de obtener la cohesión y confianza necesaria para llevar a cabo los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sustentable (ODS) y el Acuerdo de París, que marcarán nuestra agenda política, social y económica, al 2030 y después.



No puede caber duda que la más importante de las acciones, es hacer un llamado a generar conciencia, o desarrollo de capacidades, lo que no puede hacerse desde una sola institución o centro de decisión, sino que debe ser, por el contrario, hecho en todos los sectores de la sociedad con un objetivo definido y claro. Seguiremos un modelo de acción basado en el Modelo de Institución de Análisis y Desarrollo (MAID) de E. Ostrom, al considerar que la esencia de cualquier organización debe ser encontrar y desarrollar la confianza, con una forma descentralizada de toma de decisiones con una perspectiva de Gobernanza Policéntrica. Porque es una decisión que el presente Gobierno ha ratificado y que tendrá que convocar distintos planos decisionales, tenemos que decir que incluso si hasta la fecha, sigue siendo una decisión muy formal, que de ninguna manera ha llegado a la implementación, el país ha firmado el Acuerdo de París y ha emitido su National Determined Contribution (NDC) en 2017.

Para sumar a todas las partes interesadas y los programas gubernamentales relacionados, que en el año 2020 habrían de comenzar a implementarse, nuestro programa de desarrollo de capacidades en Cambio Climático debe desempeñar una importante función de colaboración y coordinación independiente, que contribuirá a la consecución de los objetivos, posibilitando el diálogo entre los diferentes interesados. Las principales barreras de nuestra realidad, frente al cambio climático, están arraigadas en el hecho de que el país ha adoptado una estrategia de Mitigación, siendo en total el contribuyente del 0,3% de GEI a nivel global. Esto ha creado la falsa sensación de que, haga lo que haga el país, no tendrá importancia con respecto al Cambio Climático. Atrapado en el corto tiempo de la información meteorológica, Chile aún no se ha tomado en serio el Cambio Climático.

Una institucionalidad muy fragmentada en la que no hay conversación entre la burocracia, hace muy difícil difundir la ciencia y los desafíos planteados por el cambio climático. Nuestro país, no obstante, ha dado formalmente los pasos requeridos por la comunidad internacional y tiene un Plan Nacional de Adaptación, desde finales de 2014, ha ratificado el Acuerdo de París y presentado su NDC, que ha comprometido la transición del 30% de sus fuentes de energía basadas en energías fósiles a renovables para el 2030. También aspira a la captura de CO2 mediante la plantación de 100.000 hectáreas nuevas de bosques. Tengamos en cuenta, de todos modos, que esta ambición, se ha condicionado a la obtención de ayuda internacional y que el año pasado (2017) sufrimos los incendios forestales más importantes de la historia, con casi 600,000 hás. quemadas.

Utilizaremos la plataforma y la metodología de los Diálogos de Talanoa para difundir el conocimiento científico del Cambio Climático, desde una base dialógica y discursiva. Los formuladores de políticas, por primera vez en 2015, han acordado con la Agenda ODS 2030 y el Acuerdo de París, generar un llamado universal, que en los próximos años debe ser incorporado a las estructuras económicas, sociales y ambientales de todos los países. Por primera vez en la historia, los países han pedido alcances tan amplios y ambiciosos. Comienzan a tomar su lugar, pero llevarán al planeta a transformaciones tan grandes como la transición de todas nuestras fuentes de energía a fuentes renovables. Como sucede en general, con fenómenos multisectoriales y relacionados con el Cambio Climático, las dimensiones y perspectivas cuidadosamente establecidas y concebidas para enfrentar de manera pragmática los problemas -y las oportunidades, así abiertas-a nivel local, tienden a colapsar frente a una visión holística del sistema, que debe ser capaz de integrar las diferentes visiones en un enfoque sistémico, que podría representar de forma más precisa las dinámicas socioambientales reales a las que nos enfrentamos. En éste sentido, se ha remarcado la necesidad de fortalecer la colaboración, para lograr los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.

Siguiendo los Mandatos de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible (no dejamos ninguno fuera, desarrollamos la interconexión e indivisibilidad, generamos inclusión y cooperación entre todos los interesados), promoveremos alianzas entre nuestros afiliados, así como también a nivel general de la sociedad en su conjunto, para movilizar e intercambiar conocimientos, experiencia, tecnología y financiamiento. Para contribuir a los ODS, se introducirán fases de colaboración con los interesados ​​para mejorar sus habilidades, estableciendo trabajos en el campo de la cooperación para el  desarrollo, articulando desde nuestra posición privilegiada, que llega transversalemnte a todos los sectores sociales (privado, público y sociedad civil), en todos los cuales participamos en entornos de múltiples partes interesadas. Por lo tanto, la ampliación de las Soluciones de energía sostenible, la Conservación de la naturaleza con beneficios colaterales climáticos y la Innovación climática empresarial para un beneficio sostenible, son tres partes de la misma estrategia de acción y  ampliación de ambiciones que ahora presenta nuestra propuesta, que encuentra en los Diálogos de Talanoa, la esperada plataforma activa de un mapa a escala real y una brújula que nos permita avanzar entre todos, para no perder el camino.

Como hemos dicho, el amplio alcance de nuestra federación que incorpora a 18 organizaciones colegiadas de otras tantas profesiones diferentes, de las ciencias exactas y sociales, como sociólogo, antropólogo, matronas, enfermera, médicos veterinarios, etc. de Chile (y que está en avanzadas conversaciones para agregar diez más), garantiza la llegada de nuestra propuesta a todos los sectores de la sociedad, así como también al gobierno, colocándonos en la mejor posición para interactuar como una fuerza real con doctores, arquitectos, abogados, docentes, etc. que son las fuerzas vivas de la nación. Al mismo tiempo, es digno de notar la posición de privilegio que tenemos para interactuar con las organizaciones laborales y las empresas privadas. En este sentido, repetimos, nuestra Federación está llamada a desempeñar un papel muy importante para concentrar la acción coordinada entre todos los segmentos de la sociedad civil, ya que tenemos un rol preponderante en la relación con los profesionales comprometidos, el sector privado y el mundo académico. También somos una forma clara y oficialmente reconocida de comunicarnos con el Gobierno como un canal de transmisión y retroalimentación con la sociedad civil.

Además, la realización de este proyecto sin duda potenciará el crecimiento de nuestra federación a otras asociaciones profesionales con el sentido de acciones concretas y necesarias, así como abrirá sus campos de expertise profesional hacia los nuevos desafíos laborales,que se vienen con los cambios transformacionales. Desarrollaremos un plan para extender el conocimiento del cambio climático a todos nuestros afiliados, con indicaciones claras y formatos, que les permitirá a su vez, replicar este conocimiento a sus órganos subsidiarios. Por ejemplo, merece la pena señalar que en 2016, el gobierno modificó los programas educativos e incorporó como una clase regular y obligatoria el Cambio Climático. Esto no ha llegado a ser mucho más que una declaración hasta ahora. Nuestro proyecto Qiao y la implementación de los Diálogos de Talanoa de Naciones Unidas, ciertamente ayudará a que esta propuesta se materialice.

Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals

United Nations Headquarters, New York
5 and 6 June, 2018

DRAFT Concept Note for the STI Forum
Status: 26 April 2018

Context
The Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development established a
technology facilitation mechanism (TFM) that Member States agreed “… will be based on a multistakeholder collaboration between Member States, civil society, the private sector, the scientific
community, United Nations entities and other stakeholders and will be composed of a United Nations
inter-agency task team on science, technology and innovation for the sustainable development goals,
a collaborative multi-stakeholder forum on science, technology and innovation for the sustainable
development goals and an online platform.”

The collaborative multi-stakeholder forum on science, technology and innovation for the sustainable
development goals (“STI Forum”) is convened by the President of ECOSOC and expected to “discuss science, technology and innovation cooperation around thematic areas for the implementation of the sustainable development goals, congregating all relevant stakeholders to actively contribute in theirarea of expertise.” It will “provide a venue for facilitating interaction, matchmaking and theestablishment of networks between relevant stakeholders and multi-stakeholder partnerships in order to identify and examine technology needs and gaps, including with regard to scientific cooperation, innovation and capacity-building, and also in order to help facilitate development, transfer and dissemination of relevant technologies for the sustainable development goals”.

Agenda 2030 tasked the IATT to work with the 10-Member Group to organize the meetings of the STI Forum. Reflecting this mandate, this concept note is jointly put forward by the IATT and 10-Member Group for the consideration of the Co-Chairs of the STI Forum.

Theme for the STI Forum 2018
The theme of the 2018 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) is
“Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies”, and the Member States have decided
that the HLPF 2018 shall focus on five SDGs (6, 7, 11, 12 and 15) in addition to SDG 17 that will be
considered at each HLPF.
Accordingly, the theme of the STI Forum 2018 is: “Science, Technology and Innovation for sustainableand resilient societies – Focus on SDGs 6, 7, 11, 12 and 15”.

Objectives
In line with its mandate as per A/RES/70/1 (supplemented by 72/242), the STI Forum will address the following objectives:
(1) STI cooperation: “Discuss science, technology and innovation cooperation around thematic
areas for the implementation of the sustainable development goals”:
a. Congregate all relevant stakeholders to actively contribute in their area of expertise;
b. Open new fields of dialogue between stakeholders and promote the sharing,
exchange and scaling up of ideas, technologies and innovations for the SDGs;
c. Share success stories and challenges in scientific collaborations, innovation,
technology transfer and diffusion, and promote the development of accessible
repositories of ‘best practices’.
(2) Needs and gaps analysis: “Identify and examine technology needs and gaps, including with
regard to scientific cooperation, innovation and capacity-building”:
a. Support the development of gaps and needs analysis at the national and regional
levels, act as an observatory for STI needs for SDGs, and promote capacity-building
efforts;
b. Determine how the STI Forums (2016-2030) can contribute to the design of
roadmaps for the use of science, technology and innovation (STI) for sustainable
development;
c. Consider means of measuring progress in implementation of the SDGs in terms of
the role of STI, including technology development, transfer and diffusion, and take
stock of progress made.
(3) Networking: “Facilitate interaction, matchmaking and the establishment of networks
between relevant stakeholders and multi-stakeholder partnerships”
a. Suggest new initiatives and partnerships to be developed to help promote new
solutions for the SDGs.
b. Organize a Networking Forum to profile exceptional innovators who are already
delivering solutions to one or more of the SDGs, and to illustrate the breadth of
diverse sources of innovation (both geographic and sectoral);
c. To explore potential for inter-disciplinary approaches to innovating solutions for
sustainable development challenges, including open and collaborative innovation;
d. Provide regular reporting on thematic topics and regional initiatives in line with the
principles of the TFM.
(4) Technologies for the SDGs: “Facilitate development, transfer and dissemination of relevant
technologies for the sustainable development goals”
a. Identify practical means and solutions to foster science, technology and innovation
technologies for the sustainable development goals”
a. Identify practical means and solutions to foster science, technology and innovation
geared towards the target SDGs (6, 7, 11, 12 and 15);
b. Enhance enabling environments for STI development and the removal of obstacles to
the scaling up of the development of and access to technologies.
c. Explore innovative approaches to leverage human and financial resources for STI;
d. Support the collection and dissemination of best practices and solutions, as well as
case studies of actual experiences in STI development, transfer and diffusion;
e. Identify means of employing technologies and technological know-how and
information in the public domain.
(5) Impact of rapid technological change on the SDGs: GA resolution 72/242 (OP4) from 2017
mandates the third STI forum to include a session on “the impact of rapid technological
change, including in cases in which changes may occur at an exponential pace, on the
achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals”
a. In continuation with similar discussions in previous STI Forums, seek to identify ways
in which recent developments in science and technology, especially those which have the potential for large-scale transformative impacts, can impact the SDGs;
b. Explore policy options based on country practices to enhance the positive impacts
across countries at different stages of development;
c. Engage with the many communities and stakeholders impacted by these advances.
Modalities & Participation
The STI Forum is collaborative and multi-stakeholder in nature, including Member States, United
Nations entities, civil society and NGOs, private sector, philanthropic sector, scientific community, academia, youth, indigenous peoples and other stakeholder groups. The two-day meeting should mobilize decision-makers, practitioners and experts, as well as users of technologies and the private sector that invests in technological R&D and innovation. It is important to secure participation from the broad range of communities along the STI continuum. It is important to work closely with
Member States to secure the participation of high-level experts and policy makers from capitals, and to include young scientists and innovators in national delegations.
The STI Forum is open to participation by all accredited delegates and representatives through an open call for registration to ensure a wide range of participation.
Resources permitting, the STI Forum will be webcast, and the proceedings recorded and made available for open viewing.
Proposed structure of program and organization of work
This year’s Forum is co-chaired by Japan and Mexico. Draft program of the Forum can be found in the Annex.
The opening session should set the general tone for the STI Forum, while the concluding session
should discuss recommendations and key messages for the Co-Chairs’ summary and set out
expectations for the STI Forum in future years.
The STI Forum and its sessions aims to be as interactive as possible; exploring innovative seating arrangements, use of different media (videos, and visualizations) with side events, innovations exhibits and affiliated events contributing to the discussions.
The Secretariat will be responsible for overall coordination and preparation of the STI Forum, and for planning the opening and closing sessions. Members of the IATT and the 10-Member Group will self nominate to join sub-groups to organize the sessions. The organizers of each session will prepare a concept note, identify and issue invitations to potential speakers, and plan the use of different mediaand discussion formats. The co-chairs of IATT and of the 10-Member Group will ensure coherent approaches across sessions.
