4 July, 2016

Researchers from the Núcleo de Desarrollo Local, Regional y Gobernanza Medioambiental of Universidad de Los Lagos, met in the municipality of Purranque, Osorno, to attend a conference on the project ‘Política municipal, participación social y desafíos de sustentabilidad para la comuna de Purranque’ (FONDECYT/CONICYT 1140672).

In this meeting, Patricio Valdivieso, principal researcher of the project, presented the results of a field research developed in Purranque about sustainability challenges, environmental risks, municipal organization, investment decisions, and social participation. Valdivieso highlighted that a combination of institutional reforms and relations with society are key to improve the sustainability development of the community.

After the participation of other project researchers and a discussion with the municipal managers about policies and the ongoing initiatives to improve the environmental needs of the local community, the meeting concluded with the objective to develop more studies on the field and to continue producing information to benefit the local governments and environmental sustainability.
