Environmental Law Journal becomes part of Scielo Chile

The publication edited by the Environmental Law Center will be part of an open access collection of Chilean scientific journals in all areas of knowledge.

The Environmental Law Journal, edited by the Environmental Law Center of the Law School of the University of Chile, was admitted to be part of the SciELO - Chile Scientific Electronic Library.

SciELO - Chile is an open access collection of texts from Chilean scientific journals, from all areas of knowledge, which predominantly publish articles resulting from scientific research, and which uses peer review of the manuscripts they receive, which show a growing performance in the indicators of compliance with the indexing criteria.

"We are very pleased with this recognition, which is the result of an effort of continuous improvement of the editorial processes developed by the editorial team, which has resulted in the growing increase in the quality of the articles published over the years," said the director of the Journal, Prof. Valentina Durán Medina, adding "we are grateful for the support of the Faculty, which through its Dean, Prof. Pablo Ruiz-Tagle, and the Journals Program of the Research Department, headed by Prof. Daniel Álvarez, has provided permanent support to the work of the journal."

"Once the collaboration agreement between the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile and the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) is signed, the full incorporation of the journal to this collection will take place, starting in 2022" explained the editor Jorge Ossandón Rosales.

This good news is in addition to the admission, in 2020, of the Environmental Law Journal to the SCOPUS database.

As a result, in 2022 the Environmental Law Journal will already be indexed in Scopus, Redib, DOAJ and Latindex, in addition to ScIELO, with the support of SISIB and the Journals Program of the Research Department of the Law School of the Universidad of Chile.

It should be noted that Issue 16 of this biannual journal will be published on December 31.

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to analyze the progress and challenges of the previous COP25 version finally developed in Madrid, which although it was marked by the negotiations around the controversial Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, its critics argue that their efforts to in the fight against climate change, they failed to give urgency to oceanic and glacial policies. On this basis, this article will review international efforts in this area from COP21 in Paris to COP24 in Katowice, as well as efforts to provide security to the ocean and Antarctica in our country considering the National Oceanic Policy approved in 2018, and the role of the Framework Law on Climate Change that the current government has promoted through the articulation between the public, private, academic and competent actors for better ocean management in Chile. Finally, it is noted that the lowest point was not having considered the oceans in an integral way to the problem of the effects of GHGs, which has determined that the last COP25 in Madrid is classified as a failure.
