    Guía de indicadores de humedales para las metas del ODS 11
    (Centro de Desarrollo Urbano Sustentable, 2024) Rojas, Carolina; Aldana, Juanita; Moschella, Paola; Stamm, Caroline; Soto, Evelyn; CEDEUS (Chile)
    La guía aborda la relevancia de los humedales urbanos en el logro del ODS 11 «Ciudades y Comunidades Sostenibles», proponiendo la inclusión de indicadores específicos que midan la conservación y el impacto de dichos ecosistemas en las ciudades con el fin de fortalecer su rol en la sostenibilidad urbana.

    La dimensión banal de la conflictividad socioambiental en la ciudad. Análisis de las denuncias ambientales en Santiago de Chile
    (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2023) Stamm, Caroline; Ulloa Contador, Gabriela Estefanía
    Few studies on large Latin American cities have addressed socio-environmental conflictive in its non-exceptional dimension, that is, in its everyday or banal dimension. This article analyzes which are the banal environmental problems, where they are reported, and what is the relationship between complaints and urban territories, in terms of socioeconomic level, density, and types of land occupation. The analysis is based on a database of environmental citizen complaints reported to the Superintendence of the Environmental and to the municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, among which three communes —Independencia, Lo Barnechea and San Bernardo— are examined in detail. The municipal data were then georeferenced and statistically and spatially analyzed. The research shows that mixed residential sectors with high density are those that concentrate more complaints, mainly about noise. From the nature of the environmental claims and the spatial analysis of this database, we reflect about a new geography of urban conflict in its banal dimension, and its meaning in terms of citizen constructions of the environment in different territories of the city.

    Trends in household energy-related GHG emissions during COVID-19 in four Chilean cities
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022) Rojas, Carolina; Simon, Francois; Muniz, Ivan; Quintana, Marc; Irarrazaval, Felipe; Stamm, Caroline; Santos, Benedita; CEDEUS (Chile)
    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has strongly affected economies and human lifestyles globally. The changes observed in domestic energy consumption patterns have had an impact on household greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since GHG emissions inventories are only available at the country level and at annual intervals, most studies have calculated the local emission variations by extrapolating annual emissions with smaller time and territorial scale consumption data. This research presents a bottom-up method, based on the exploitation of a survey addressed to 1200 households, that provides the information to calculate directly the variation in their energy-related GHG emissions, without the need for extrapolations. This method has been applied to four medium-sized Chilean cities with serious air quality problems. Given the high correlation between atmospheric pollutants such as NOx and CO2 emissions, we estimate that before the appearance of COVID-19, per capita CO2 emissions were already high. The results show that space heating-related GHG emissions have increased moderately (between 1 and 6%), while emissions from electricity and gas consumption for non-heating uses have increased significantly (between 8 and 23%). This has harmed the household economy, highlighting the importance of considering socioeconomic aspects when assessing the impact of COVID-19 in its entirety.
