¿What is the SINA?
Environmental National system
The Environmental National System - SINA- is the assembly of orientation, norms activities, resources, programs and institutions that permit it set in motion of the environmental general principles oriented toward the sustainable development.
Thus the Law describes it 99 of 1993 that gave life to environmental the greater reform undertaken by the country in all its history, to propose a new plan of environmental management with greater status, resources and instruments of the ones that had never. The SINA proposes to integrate the different private, social, and public agents involved in the environmental theme in order to promoting a model of sustainable development, through an environmental management decentralized, democratic and participativo.
¿What is the sustainable development?
It is understood for sustainable development that that conduct to the economic growth, to the elevation of the quality of life and to the social welfare, without exhausting the base of the renewable natural resources in which is supported, without deteriorating the half an amiente or the right of the future generations to utilize it for the satisfaction of its own needs, according to the Law 99.
The concept of sustainable development was consecrated for more than 170 countries in the World Conference on Environment and Development celebrated in River of Janeiro in June of 1992. This summit influenced in the Colombian decision to offer greater priority to the environmental theme, by means of the incorporation of this dimension in the Constitution of 1991, and the reform of the institutional plan through the creation of a Department of the Environment and an Environmental National System.
¿When, why and why it was created the SINA?
The Sina was born in December of 1993 as result of a gradual one takes of conscience among the private and public environmentalists of the country on the harmonious social and institutional urgency to count on plans with the responsibility to protect and to do a sustainable use of the Colombian environmental patrimony, considered among the five richest of the planet.
Since the decade from the 80 the Colombian territory began to to be catalogued like a world power in biological diversity, upon counting on more 10 percent of all the spices I you live of the world, as well as a privileged diversity of ecosystems, genetic resources, thermal flats and sources of water and of oxygen. Colombia is also world leader in cultural diversity, upon counting on 84 native ethnic groups, besides rural and black communities depositarias of an invaluable traditional knowledge on the management of the biodiversidad consigned in his territories.
The process of devastation of this cultural and environmental patrimony, particularly during the second half of the century XX, he showed the empty of a model of development based on the pillage, the subvaloración of this national wealth, and the weakness of the environmental authority of that then, represented in a small adhering to institute the Department of Agriculture: the old one Inderena (National Institute of the Renewable Natural Resources and of the
He was then when he began to be gestated a social movement to create a new environmental authority and a proposal of environmental management participativa, that to permit to build a sustainable or harmonic model of development among the social welfare and the preservation of the nature.
¿ Who conform the Sina?
The SINA is heading for the Department of the Environment, as principal agency of the politics and the environmental regulatory nature. They integrate it, besides, 34 Regional Autonomous Corporations and of Sustainable Development, that act like regional environmental authorities; five institutes of investigation, responsible for giving the scientific and technical backup to the management; five urban environmental authorities in the main cities; a Unit of Natural National Parks. This assembly of companies constitutes the called Sina "institutional", "basic" or "state", that wrong is used to to be identified like the exclusive body of the Sina.
With the same level protagónico in the management, do part of the Sina other state companies that perform vertebral functions, and that know as "Sina territorial" : is the case of the territorial entities (municipalities, departments, ethnic territories), where should be executed the national environmental politics to local level, with advising of the Direction of Environmental Politics - DPA- of the National Department of Planning - DNP-
The "Sina sectorial or transectorial" is represented by the departments, some institutes and other state companies with environmental responsibilities, such as Invías or Corpoica. Are also actors of the agencies of control as the finance Office, the Attorney’s office and the Defensoría of the delegated Town in the environmental thing.
The not state actors that conform the SINA, the call "Sina social", are headlines by the not governmental organizations -NGO, the community organizations, of base or of second degree, and the territorial ethnic organizations, representatives of native towns, afro Colombian and/or rural. Prominent actors are also the universities and agencies of technological and scientific investigation.
The private sector and the diverse guilds of the production have a fundamental role in the construction of sustainable models of development and should be articulated with the other actors of the System, especially in the management of "clean production" or respectful of the cultural and environmental patrimony.
As it is observed, practically all the Colombians organized around environmental actions are actors of the Sina and therefore, responsible for their collective construction. Therefore, one of the most recent projects of strengthening of the System is called "we Are Sina"
