Costo económico de la inestabilidad y debilidad normativa en la gestión socio-ambiental de los proyectos en los sectores minero-energético, de infraestructura y de telecomunicaciones, en el marco del proyecto Norte Claro

Abstract

This study estimates the economic cost caused by the uncertainty in the environmental licensing and social consultation regulations in Colombia on the mining, oil, energy, telecommunications and infrastructure sectors. With this purpose, the study presents the interaction between the involved agents in the environmental licensing and community consultation processes, and it also discusses the institutional and legal framework issues and it describes the case studies that illustrate the problems and the real costs in all the sectors mentioned above. To calculate the economic cost, the study modeled different impacts by sector using a general equilibrium model with different scenarios.
