translated from Spanish: Environmental crisis and agreement Escazu

Sir: in the midst of social and environmental crisis in the communes of Quintero and Puchuncavi, our country declined rati the Regional Agreement on access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental matters, better known as “Agreement of Escazú” ficar.
This Treaty was signed in March by 24 countries, Costa Rica, and represents a long work at the continental level, that was born in the United Nations Conference on sustainable development (Rio + 20) in 2012 and follows the meeting regional “Decision de Santiago” , in 2014. In the fundamental guarantees three important rights: access to environmental information, public participation in decision-making processes in environmental decision-making and access to environmental justice.
The decline of the firm, seems dissonant with the objectives that you want to achieve, considering that at the United Nations General Assembly, the President of Chile declared the importance of sustainable development, “which is protective and harmonious with the” “nature and environment”.
it is important that public, private, academia and citizens worked by a country that enhances the environmental matters, reached the OECD standards, hopefully in a short time.
