Resumen
Este capítulo valora el desempeño ambiental de Costa Rica en el 2014, con el propósito de determinar en qué grado se acercó al logro de las nueve aspiraciones que orientan este análisis. Con ese objetivo revisa, desde la perspectiva del desarrollo humano sostenible, las principales tendencias en el uso y la conservación de los recursos naturales, su sostenibilidad y el papel de los actores sociales e institucionales relacionados con su gestión. Para esto, sintetiza buena parte de los esfuerzos de investigación realizados por instituciones científicas nacionales e internacionales, universidades públicas, entidades estatales, organizaciones no gubernamentales, sectores productivos y la sociedad civil. Aunque el análisis requiere indicadores ambientales, el país carece de un sistema consolidado que permita identificar avances y retrocesos en esta área, lo cual hace que el seguimiento sea complejo y, a veces, fragmentado. Este es un desafío pendiente para empatar el discurso nacional con sus patrones de uso de los recursos y su conocimiento sobre el tema. La presente entrega se organiza en torno a tres grandes conceptos: los resultados, los procesos y las capacidades de la gestión ambiental. Esta última se entiende como el conjunto de acciones relacionadas con la conservación y uso de los recursos naturales y la administración del patrimonio natural en nombre de las generaciones futuras (PEN, 2000)...

Although the analysis requires environmental indicators, the country lacks a consolidated system to identify progress and setbacks in this area, which makes monitoring complex and sometimes fragmented. This is a pending challenge to match the national discourse with its resource use patterns and knowledge on the subject. This paper is organized around three major concepts: results, processes and environmental management capacities. The latter is understood as the set of actions related to the conservation and use of natural resources and the administration of the natural heritage on behalf of future generations (PEN, 2000)...
