RICHARD HALSEY: Energy storage can be a huge part of the solution to SA's power crisis

Columna de Anne Hammill: El liderazgo de Chile en los debates globales sobre la adaptación al cambio climático (in Spanish)

Para hacer frente a sequías cada vez más intensas, los agricultores chilenos han adoptado un enfoque innovador: la captación de niebla. En colaboración con ingenieros, las comunidades han utilizado redes especialmente diseñadas para capturar la niebla a su paso por las montañas, y esta tecnología de bajo costo ha resultado eficaz para suministrar agua a los cultivos y el ganado. Pero este método creativo es sólo una parte de una historia más compleja sobre la gestión del uso del agua. Este tipo de acción comunitaria necesita el apoyo de los esfuerzos nacionales como leyes y reglamentos para conservar el agua.
