This Tuesday, November 26 at 9:00 a.m. CEAS researcher Mayarí Castillo will participate in the Radioanalysis program of Radio U. Chile with Alejandra Engler. This participation takes place within the framework of its affiliation to the Millennium Nucleus for the Socioeconomic Impact of Environmental Policies (CESIEP) and will be entitled "Water shortage in Chile: keys to understanding the conflict".

About the program

In this program we invite you to talk about water scarcity and what is the diagnosis in one of the countries most affected by the climate crisis, Chile. For this, we understand that water scarcity not only has roots in this global crisis, but there are specific economic, political and socio-cultural elements of our country that can give us clues to the future scenario.

We place the conception of water as a resource for private use, installed in the Chilean development model and enshrined in the current constitution, as one of the axes that allow reading the current water crisis, showing the need to think of water as a resource of a strategic public nature, especially in a context of scarcity like the one we have lived for a few decades.
