Climate Change in Latin America

Issue #: 209  | Volume #: 43  | Number #: 4
Date: July 2016
Interviewer: Tomas Ocampo
Interviewees: Jorge Rojas Hernandez

Short Description: This issue provides a counterpoint to the global and diplomatic drama of the Paris climate negotiations by offering a territorialized, bottom-up approach that breaks with the asymmetrical “North-South” logic of (developed) winners and (less developed) losers. The articles describe local governance strategies, based on effective responses rather than victimhood, that suggest a paradigm shift in how to conceptualize citizen particiation, especially in relation to water use and rights.
