Los desaf\u00edos del calentamiento global y la protecci\u00f3n de los paisajes y recursos para el beneficio de las actuales y futuras generaciones han generado la necesidad de desarrollar planes mundiales y nacionales de seguridad ambiental.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">El desaf\u00edo es que, aunque el tema es mundial, los planes tendr\u00edan que ser implementados por naciones soberanas. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, si bien se podr\u00eda desarrollar un plan mundial, la implementaci\u00f3n muy probablemente implique costos asim\u00e9tricos para cada naci\u00f3n. Por lo tanto, hasta ahora, la discusi\u00f3n tiende a concentrarse en evitar los costos y posponer el dolor.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">El di\u00e1logo con frecuencia se enmarca en t\u00e9rminos de medio ambiente versus desarrollo como si las dos metas fueran mutuamente excluyentes. En el caso de las econom\u00edas emergentes, tales como Chile, a menudo se discute que los niveles de ingresos son demasiado bajos para absorber los costos de los mayores est\u00e1ndares medioambientales. Estos costos no fueron absorbidos por las naciones industriales m\u00e1s avanzadas durante las primeras etapas de su desarrollo, lo que les dio una ventaja competitiva con la que no contar\u00e1n las econom\u00edas emergentes si se aplican ahora los est\u00e1ndares m\u00e1s altos, o al menos ese es su argumento.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Pero, \u00bfes este el panorama completo? \u00bfEs la relaci\u00f3n costo \/ beneficio tan clara?<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Si bien la pregunta es claramente v\u00e1lida, con certeza es m\u00e1s compleja de lo que parece en la superficie. Por ejemplo, los costos de muchas tecnolog\u00edas se han reducido con el tiempo. Mientras antes se apliquen tales tecnolog\u00edas, menor ser\u00e1 el da\u00f1o y el costo para las futuras generaciones. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, aplicar muchas de estas tecnolog\u00edas hace que los productos sean m\u00e1s competitivos, un tema de gran importancia para los exportadores que operan en mercados mundiales cada vez m\u00e1s competitivos donde los consumidores se vuelven d\u00eda a d\u00eda m\u00e1s sofisticados y exigen art\u00edculos amigables con el medio ambiente.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">El nivel en el que una empresa o naci\u00f3n es percibida como amigable con el medio ambiente tiene un impacto en su imagen y valor como oportunidades de inversi\u00f3n. Quienes reconozcan esto, obtendr\u00e1n valor y una ventaja competitiva.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Finalmente, la dimensi\u00f3n complementaria de la seguridad ambiental en el contexto de la seguridad econ\u00f3mica ofrece una posibilidad para innovar, para formar nuevas empresas, para crear empleos y generar bienestar. T<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">odo esto suena atractivo en el papel, pero \u00bfen qu\u00e9 se traduce en el mundo real?<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">La secci\u00f3n de negocios de la edici\u00f3n de este mes de <STRONG>bUSiness CHILE<\/STRONG> entrega una visi\u00f3n sobre estas oportunidades y tambi\u00e9n destaca la contribuci\u00f3n de inversionistas extranjeros al di\u00e1logo.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">El Grupo Urbaser-Kiasa pretende manejar residuos de tal manera que reducir\u00e1 las emisiones de gas metano y en el proceso generar\u00e1 energ\u00eda costo-eficiente. M\u00e1s a\u00fan, la firma est\u00e1 tratando de reciclar residuos l\u00edquidos para riego agr\u00edcola, reduciendo as\u00ed la presi\u00f3n sobre los preciosos recursos h\u00eddricos de la regi\u00f3n metropolitana. La empresa y sus trabajadores, junto con los consumidores, el pa\u00eds Y el medio ambiente resultar\u00e1n ganadores.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Si bien este es s\u00f3lo un caso, y uno que requiere implementarse, claramente demuestra las oportunidades que ofrece la seguridad ambiental. Deja en claro que el desarrollo y la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente no son mutuamente excluyentes y que, de hecho, los dos pueden ser complementarios y ofrecen valor, lo que es necesario considerar al momento de evaluar el impacto de los costos ambientales.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Nosotros en <STRONG>AmCham<\/STRONG> alentamos que haya m\u00e1s di\u00e1logo sobre este tema. Creemos firmemente que la necesidad de seguridad ambiental ofrece oportunidades. Reconocemos que tambi\u00e9n hay costos. El tema no es f\u00e1cil y el equilibrio no es claro, pero la oportunidad para Chile y su pueblo debe tomarse para el beneficio de las actuales y futuras generaciones.<\/P><!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nEnvironmental Security &#8211; a threat to development or an opportunity to innovate?  <\/p>\n<p>This is a question which world leaders are asking. The challenges of global warming and the protection of landscapes and resources for the benefit of current and future generations have raised the need to develop global and national plans for environmental security.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge is that, although the issue is global, the plans would have to be implemented by sovereign nations. Moreover, while a global plan may be possible to develop, the implementation most probably implies uneven costs to individual nations. Hence, the discussion has, to date, tended to center on avoiding the costs and postponing the pain.  <\/p>\n<p>The dialogue is frequently framed in terms of environment versus development as if the two goals were mutually exclusive. For emerging economies, such as Chile, it is often argued that income levels are too low to absorb the costs of higher environmental standards. These costs were not absorbed by the more advanced industrial nations during the early stages of their development, thus providing them with a competitive advantage which would not accrue to emerging economies if higher standards are applied now &#8211; or so the argument goes.<\/p>\n<p>But is this the full picture? Is the cost\/benefit so clear?<\/p>\n<p>While the question is clearly valid, it is certainly more complex than it appears on the surface. For example, the costs of many technologies have been reduced over time. The sooner such technologies are applied the less the damage and the cost to future generations. Furthermore, applying many of these technologies makes products more competitive &#8211; an issue of great importance for exporters working in increasingly competitive global markets where consumers continue to grow more sophisticated on a daily basis and to demand environmentally friendly goods.<\/p>\n<p>The degree to which a company or a nation is perceived to be environmentally friendly has an impact on their image and value as investment opportunities. Those who recognize this will realize value and obtain a competitive edge.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the added dimension of environmental security in the context of economic security offers a chance to innovate &#8211; to create new businesses, to generate jobs and to produce wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>This all sounds attractive on paper &#8211; but what does this translate into in the real world?<\/p>\n<p><b>bUSiness CHILE\u2019s<\/b> trade testimonial for this month provides a window into these opportunities and also highlights the contribution of foreign investors to the dialogue. <\/p>\n<p>The Urbaser-Kiasa Group plans to manage waste in such a manner as to reduce emissions of methane gases and in the process produce cost-effective energy.  Moreover, it is looking to recycle liquid residues for agricultural irrigation, thereby reducing pressure on precious water resources in the metropolitan region. The company and its workers, along with consumers, the country AND the environment will be the winners. <\/p>\n<p>While this is only one case, and one which still needs to be implemented, it clearly demonstrates the opportunities which environmental security offers. It makes clear that development and environmental protection are not mutually exclusive and that, in fact, the two can be complementary and offer value which needs to be taken into account when assessing the impact of environmental costs.  <\/p>\n<p>We at <b>AmCham<\/b> encourage further dialogue on this subject. We firmly believe that the need for environmental security offers opportunities. We recognize that there are also costs. The question is not an easy one and the balance is not clear &#8211; but the opportunity for Chile and its people should be embraced for the benefit of current and future generations.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es--><P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Seguridad ambiental, \u00bfuna amenaza para el desarrollo o una oportunidad para innovar?
