    El ecocidio de la laguna de Fúquene inició en 1830 tras la colonización. Ha perdido cerca del 70 % de su espejo hídrico y los daños sociales y ambientales son irreparables. La laguna suministra el agua para más de 15 municipios, entre ellos Chiquinquirá (Boyacá). Cuando el agua llega a este municipio, a través del fuertemente contaminado río Suárez es potabilizada y se provee para consumo humano por parte de la empresa de servicios públicos Empochiquinqurá. Sin embargo, gran parte de la población no la consume y prefiere comprar agua tratada. Esta situación hizo que emergiera un mercado paralelo de agua que moviliza al día al rededor de 20 millones de pesos. Por su parte, La sociedad civil ha jugado un papel de transformación y defensa de los derechos de acceso al agua en un contexto de muerte lenta y ecocidio de la laguna de Fúquene. Este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar y caracterizar a los actores vinculados con la gobernanza del agua en Chiquinquirá, durante los últimos diez años, para analizar su papel entre gobernanza-gobernabilidad respecto a la muerte lenta de la Laguna de Fúquene. Palabras clave: ecocidio, gobernanza, gobernabilidad, laguna de Fúquene, Chiquinquirá.The ecocide of the Fúquene lagoon began in 1830 after colonization. It has lost nearly 70% of its water mirror and the social and environmental damage is irreparable. The lagoon supplies water for more than 15 municipalities, including Chiquinquirá (Boyacá). When the water reaches this municipality, through the contaminated coal from the Suárez River, it is made drinkable and provided for human consumption by the Empochiquinqurá Company. However, a large part of the population does not consume it and prefers to buy treated water. This situation led to the emergence of a “modern” water market that generates around 20 million pesos per day, paid by the inhabitants of the city. For its part, civil society has played a role in transforming and defending the rights of access to water in a context of slow death and ecocide in the Fúquene lagoon. This article aims to identify and characterize the actors linked to the governance of water in Chiquinquirá, during the last ten years, to analyze their role between governance-governance regarding the slow death of the Fúquene Lagoon. Keywords: Ecocide Fúquene, water governance, governability, Chiquinquirá.Magíster en Estudios Culturales LatinoamericanosMaestrí

    How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, and provision of services. We comparatively assessed the patterns and trends of healthy life expectancy (HALE), which quantifies the number of years of life expected to be lived in good health, and the complementary measure of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), a composite measure of disease burden capturing both premature mortality and prevalence and severity of ill health, for 359 diseases and injuries for 195 countries and territories over the past 28 years. Methods We used data for age-specific mortality rates, years of life lost (YLLs) due to premature mortality, and years lived with disability (YLDs) from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 to calculate HALE and DALYs from 1990 to 2017. We calculated HALE using age-specific mortality rates and YLDs per capita for each location, age, sex, and year. We calculated DALYs for 359 causes as the sum of YLLs and YLDs. We assessed how observed HALE and DALYs differed by country and sex from expected trends based on Socio-demographic Index (SDI). We also analysed HALE by decomposing years of life gained into years spent in good health and in poor health, between 1990 and 2017, and extra years lived by females compared with males. Findings Globally, from 1990 to 2017, life expectancy at birth increased by 7·4 years (95% uncertainty interval 7·1-7·8), from 65·6 years (65·3-65·8) in 1990 to 73·0 years (72·7-73·3) in 2017. The increase in years of life varied from 5·1 years (5·0-5·3) in high SDI countries to 12·0 years (11·3-12·8) in low SDI countries. Of the additional years of life expected at birth, 26·3% (20·1-33·1) were expected to be spent in poor health in high SDI countries compared with 11·7% (8·8-15·1) in low-middle SDI countries. HALE at birth increased by 6·3 years (5·9-6·7), from 57·0 years (54·6-59·1) in 1990 to 63·3 years (60·5-65·7) in 2017. The increase varied from 3·8 years (3·4-4·1) in high SDI countries to 10·5 years (9·8-11·2) in low SDI countries. Even larger variations in HALE than these were observed between countries, ranging from 1·0 year (0·4-1·7) in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (62·4 years [59·9-64·7] in 1990 to 63·5 years [60·9-65·8] in 2017) to 23·7 years (21·9-25·6) in Eritrea (30·7 years [28·9-32·2] in 1990 to 54·4 years [51·5-57·1] in 2017). In most countries, the increase in HALE was smaller than the increase in overall life expectancy, indicating more years lived in poor health. In 180 of 195 countries and territories, females were expected to live longer than males in 2017, with extra years lived varying from 1·4 years (0·6-2·3) in Algeria to 11·9 years (10·9-12·9) in Ukraine. Of the extra years gained, the proportion spent in poor health varied largely across countries, with less than 20% of additional years spent in poor health in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, and Slovakia, whereas in Bahrain all the extra years were spent in poor health. In 2017, the highest estimate of HALE at birth was in Singapore for both females (75·8 years [72·4-78·7]) and males (72·6 years [69·8-75·0]) and the lowest estimates were in Central African Republic (47·0 years [43·7-50·2] for females and 42·8 years [40·1-45·6] for males). Globally, in 2017, the five leading causes of DALYs were neonatal disorders, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Between 1990 and 2017, age-standardised DALY rates decreased by 41·3% (38·8-43·5) for communicable diseases and by 49·8% (47·9-51·6) for neonatal disorders. For non-communicable diseases, global DALYs increased by 40·1% (36·8-43·0), although age-standardised DALY rates decreased by 18·1% (16·0-20·2)

For non-communicable diseases, global DALYs increased by 40·1% (36·8-43·0), although age-standardised DALY rates decreased by 18·1% (16·0-20·2). With increasing life expectancy in most countries, the question of whether the additional years of life gained are spent in good health or poor health has been increasingly relevant because of the potential policy implications, such as health-care provisions and extending retirement ages. In some locations, a large proportion of those additional years are spent in poor health. Large inequalities in HALE and disease burden exist across countries in different SDI quintiles and between sexes. The burden of disabling conditions has serious implications for health system planning and health-related expenditures. Despite the progress made in reducing the burden of communicable diseases and neonatal disorders in low SDI countries, the speed of this progress could be increased by scaling up proven interventions. The global trends among non-communicable diseases indicate that more effort is needed to maximise HALE, such as risk prevention and attention to upstream determinants of health
