“…Se distinguen generalmente dos nociones de vulnerabilidad: vulnerabilidad como resultado (outcome vulnerability) y vulnerabilidad contextual (contextual vulnerability) (O'Brien, Eriksen, Nygaard & Schjolden, 2007;Heinrichs, Krellenberg & Fragkias, 2013). La primera noción se centra en el sistema natural y considera los efectos adversos del cambio climático, los cuales aumentan la probabilidad de peligro y de exposición de sistemas y sectores.…”

resumen | Para la Región Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile (rms), el cambio climático implica diferentes impactos que se suman a la continua expansión urbana y a cambios en los patrones de uso del suelo, los cuales a su vez acrecientan las amenazas hidroclimáticas, como las inundaciones y el calor extremo. En general, estos cambios tendrán notables consecuencias para la vulnerabilidad residencial. Especialmente las familias de bajos recursos y los asentamientos ilegales en grandes ciudades con crecimiento acelerado suelen ser los más vulnerables, debido a una mayor exposición y a una limitada capacidad de respuesta. Este artículo contrasta posiciones teóricas sobre las dimensiones socioeconómicas, físico-constructivas y urbano-rurales de la vulnerabilidad con evidencias empíricas, para entender quiénes son los más afectados por las inundaciones y el calor extremo en la rms. Como muestran los resultados del estudio, las posiciones teóricas no se reflejan en los análisis cuantitativos. La vulnerabilidad depende de cada contexto y requiere políticas adecuadas para distintos territorios. palabras clave | vulnerabilidad, riesgos naturales, medioambiente urbano. abstract | For the Metropolitan Region of Santiago de Chile (rms), climate change implies different impacts adding to continuous urban growth and changes in land-

“…Attention to considerations about climate change policy integration [3] or mainstreaming [4] in which climate change efforts are explicitly woven into existing policy deliberations reflect the perceived necessity of considering how efforts to address climate change relate to existing policy work e.g., [5][6][7][8].…”

Identifying the Potential for Climate Compatible Development Efforts and the Missing Links

Those examining climate compatible development and triple-win policy efforts that simultaneously negotiate sustainable development, climate change mitigation, and climate change adaptation considerations are on the cutting edge of exploring why and how policymakers address complex social problems that require balancing considerations about multiple, interrelated policy issues. Enhancing understanding of factors underlying the emergence of these efforts can help strengthen incentives for action, address implementation challenges, and anticipate inequities. This paper uses survey responses from 287 cities and logistic regression analyses to explore conditions and policy actions associated with potential climate compatible development efforts when economic development, sustainability, climate change mitigation, and climate change adaptation considerations overlap. It finds evidence that potential climate compatible development efforts were present in 10% of the cities studied. Adaptation was the issue most likely to act as the missing link when each of these other issues influenced city policy actions, and mitigation was the least likely. Contextual factors associated with these efforts included budget stress, leadership from a policy entrepreneur, higher college degree attainment rates, having an environmental department or commission, and the area of the city composed of water versus land. Examining factors associated with these issues acting as missing links revealed contradictions that highlight the necessity of further exploration of processes affecting the pursuit of climate compatible development.
