Notes

  1. 1.

    Some contradictory opinions surround the relative strength and presence of NGOs and civil society organizations. Hill stated there is a “growing number and strength of NGO initiatives which serve to counter balance the pure economic interests” (Hill 2013: 205) and promote resilience.

  2. 2.

    As a non-Annex I party (classified as mostly developing) of the UNFCCC, investment, insurance, and technology transfer are the desired options to meet Chile’s special needs (UNFCCC 2015).

  3. 3.

    These include: a fund created in 2007 for local development projects that address climate change (Q3) (Fondo de Proteccion Ambiental (FPA)); funding and technical support provided by the GEF to develop and strengthen activities related to climate change (OECD 2013); and CDM initiatives (Barton 2013). Many capacity building initiatives also exist elsewhere in Chile (UNFCCC 2015; MAPS 2015).

  4. 4.

    Water tables are a formal institution where all parties with an interest in water meet to discuss issues, exchange knowledge, and potentially come to agreement on water issues.
