Liduvina Calatayud Cros.- In Mediacciona We are a team of professionals who work to make environmental mediation a common practice in our environment and that the management of environmental conflicts is done in an agile, economical, sustainable, reliable way and supported by citizen participation. Our proposal is the addressing environmental conflicts through mediation.
What is an environmental conflict?
We define environmental conflict as a particular type of social conflict in which the issue in dispute is environmental conditions and people's quality of life. In these conflicts there is an explicit controversy - of information, interests or values - between at least two interdependent parties that pursue supposedly incompatible goals.
The blog
We have a main section, News, in which we publicize the particular complexity of mediation in environmental conflicts and share - with our followers - reflections, research, interviews and experiences on the subject.
When we say that environmental mediation has a special complexity we are referring, precisely, to the particular complexity of these conflicts that usually comes from the hand of any of these elements:
- One of the parties is usually a public body
- Great power inequality between the parties
- Important economic interests at stake
- Technical complexity
- Fundamental aspects of life are involved
- There are big economic implications….
In addition, we have open the following sections:
– Presentation of the initiative
– Bibliography accessible on INTERNET
– Service catalog
– Course: “Mediate environmental conflicts”
(We will soon open a section on which we have been working for a couple of years: "Map of environmental conflict in the Valencian Community").
Trajectory
In October 2011 we began our journey. We defined it as an adventure and three years later we can confirm that it has been and is an exciting adventure.
Starting in October 2012 we consolidated our presence; Since then, at least once a week, we update information on the subject.
Currently we exceed a thousand monthly entries and dozens of people have expressed their interest in getting involved with this initiative.
We invite you to network-hoops with Mediacciona.
