This paper describes one of the ways in which poverty and economic inequality is reproduced in Latin America. This study analyzed certain mechanisms of educational social exclusion among children attending the sixth grade of the primary education in 17 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The study shows the intergenerational transmission of poverty and inequality through education is one of the mechanisms that slow convergence towards decent living standards, while uncovering one of the many processes of the violation of rights of children contemplated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. On the other hand, this study seeks to identify relevant variables to enumerate public policy actions, such as Conditional Transfer Programs aimed at breaking the cycle of–or reducing the intensity of–the reproduction of the poverty and the inequality. To this end, the conditioning opportunities are distinguished (called "endowments") from those that operate independently, so that identical opportunities generate different results.

Considering environmental education as a social tool allowing individuals to achieve a significant knowledge of the inhabited environment, to reduce the probability of occurrence of a disaster, and to respond to the presence of natural phenomena to which people are vulnerable, this article aims to generate a space for reflection on the importance of environmental education in the management of the social and natural risk in five countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. For this purpose, the paper presents a descriptive review of primary and secondary bibliographical sources referring to the performance of the management of social and natural risks related to environmental education in Colombia, Nicaragua, Mexico, Chile, and Jamaica between 1994 and 2015. In this period, a solid administrative and legislative organization of this management and environmental education is evident, but these two themes are clearly separated when implementing citizen projects: a situation that has generated shortcomings in the management of natural disasters, specifically under the principles of precaution and prevention. For this reason, this article offers a series of recommendations that include the dissemination of information, the creation of centers for the management of risk reduction, the strengthening of communication strategies, and the establishment of response plans and post-disaster recovery.

ABSTRACTTwenty years after the signature of the UNECE  Convention  on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, (the Aarhus Convention, 1998) on March 4, 2018 –and after six years of negotiations-,twenty-four countries in Latin American and the Caribbean adopted the Escazú Convention, the first ever legally binding treaty on environmental rights in the Region. The Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean, once ratified by the signatories, will affect the constitutions and the legislations in Latin America and the Caribbean in environmental matters, serving as a framework to increase the level of the protection on environmental participatory rights in the region. The objective of this article is to give an overview of both treaties. Part I will briefly outline the context and the negotiating process of the two texts. Then, Part II will consist of a comparative analysis, that will scrutinise the structure of the treaties, the notion of democracy and the substantive right to a healthy environment. Finally, the Part III will compare the three pillars recognised in both documents and underline the similarities, the differences between the three pillars, and the steps forwards for Environmental Rights in Latin America and the Caribbean. KEYWORDS: Right to access; Aarhus Convention; Escazú Agreement; Environmental Democracy; Latin America and Caribbean. RESUMOVinte anos após a assinatura da Convenção sobre Acesso à Informação, Participação no Processo de Tomada de Decisão e Acesso à Justiça em Matéria de Ambiente UN/ECE (Convenção de Aarhus, 1998) e após seis anos de negociações, vinte e quatro países da América Latina e do Caribe adotaram a Convenção Escazú, o primeiro tratado juridicamente vinculante sobre direito ambiental na Região. O Acordo Regional sobre Acesso à Informação, Participação Pública e Justiça em Matéria de Ambiente na América Latina e no Caribe, uma vez ratificado, produzira efeitos na ordem jurídica interna dos Estados partes em matéria ambiental e servirá para aumentar o nível de proteção dos direitos de participação ambiental na região. O objetivo deste artigo é fornecer uma visão geral de ambos os tratados. A parte I delineará brevemente o contexto e o processo de negociação dos dois textos. A Parte II consistirá numa análise comparativa que examinará a estrutura dos tratados, a noção de democracia e o direito substantivo a um ambiente saudável. Por fim, a Parte III se destina a comparar os três pilares reconhecidos em ambos os documentos e sublinhar as semelhanças, as diferenças entre os três pilares e os passos a serem tomados para o Direito Ambiental na América Latina e no Caribe. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Acesso à justiça; Convenção de Aarhus; Acordo de Escazú; Democracia Ambiental; América Latina e Caribe

En el presente artículo, se exponen los «problemas o amenazas» para la creación de un Espacio Común de Educación Superior en Latinoamérica y el Caribe, que proviene de la experiencia de la Unión Europea, la Convención de Bolonia y de iniciativas de creación de espacios comunes propuestos por algunas organizaciones en América Latina. Los problemas jurídicos que se analizan parten del hecho de que en nuestro Continente no existe una organización con la misma capacidad de unificación legal de la Unión Europea. Por tanto, la incorporación de un espacio común de educación superior en América Latina y el Caribe, a través de la suscripción de un convenio entre estados, requiere conocer la normativa interna y el proceso para el reconocimiento de las normas internacionales en las constituciones de cada país (primer problema legal). Por otra parte se identifica que no existe libertad de circulación y/o movilidad en nuestra Región, debido a políticas y leyes migratorias (segundo problema legal). Finalmente se considera la situación social de nuestros países como una tercera limitación, dada la heterogeneidad de los sistemas de educación superior y la escasa calidad de la enseñanza y sus instituciones en algunos casos.This article describes the «problems or threats» for the creation of a Common Space for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean, which comes from the experience of the European Union, the Convention of Bologna, and building initiatives common spaces proposed by some organizations in Latin America. The legal issues are discussed based on the fact that in our continent there is no organization with the same capacity of legal unification of the European Union. Therefore, the incorporation of a common area of higher education in Latin America and the Caribbean, through the signing of an agreement between states, requires knowledge of the internal rules and the process for international recognition in the constitutions of each country (the first legal problem). On the other hand is identified that there is no freedom of movement and / or mobility in our region, due to migration laws and policies (second legal problem). Finally we consider the social situation of our countries as a third limitation, given the heterogeneity of the systems of higher education and the poor quality of education and its institutions in some cases.
