Incentivos ambientales, una vía efectiva hacia la protección ambiental, y su introducción en ordenanzas municipales de ciudades emergentes del Ecuador

Abstract

The environmental incentives, of recent date, are embodied in a number of legal instruments within the Ecuadorian legal system as well as in international environmental legislation, accordingly, from the local governments the public administration has been having an incipient concern for the protection of the environment and the right to a healthy environment, however the problem however that we raise is Are the so-called "emerging cities" in Ecuador making a correct application of the current environmental legislation to prevent environmental pollution and promote good environmental practices through their ordinances? Emerging cities, as defined by the Inter-American Development Bank for Latin American cities that meet certain requirements of sustainability and sustainability, have not come to meet the expectations provided by the normal because the public policies applied are inefficient, resorting to more formalistic or coercive methods to prevent polluting practices and influence the behavior of modern citizens, This is why the present work includes a series of recommendations at the time of issuing ordinances that promote the care of Pacha Mama and even a proposal for an ordinance to the canton of Portoviejo that can be tangible and which will be followed up.
