closed

Closed

The Integrated National Adaptation Project will support Colombia's efforts to define and implement specific pilot adaptation measures and policy options to meet the anticipated impacts from climate change. The project consists of the following components: (a) this component seeks to strengthen Colombia's capabilities to produce and disseminate climate information (useful for resource allocation and operational decision making), in support of adaptation to climate change measures and programs. (b) this component will support the following activities: (i) ecosystem planning and management in Las Hermosas Massif, seeking to maintain its high biodiversity assets; (ii) maintenance of potential for hydropower generation through adoption of measures to protect the Amoya watershed; (iii) adaptive land-use planning model seeking to reduce impacts from climate change on land degradation. (iv) improvement of productive agro-ecosystems and reduction of their socioeconomic vulnerability to GCC impacts. (c) this component will support the implementation of physical adaptation measures in order to reduce the vulnerability of the Caribbean Insular area, especially with regard to changes in rainfall and temperature and sea-level rise. (d) this component will address the increased exposure to tropical vector-borne diseases (malaria and dengue) induced by climate change through the implementation of an Integrated Dengue and Malaria Surveillance and Control System. (e) this component will support the overall technical coordination of project Activities.
