The proposed project general aims at strengthening the adaptive capacity of vulnerable populations, ecosystems and hydroelectric systems in the Río Blanco upper watershed and develop a model of adaptation to climate change that can be replicated in similar context in the country and in the region.
The specific objectives of the project are:
- Reduce the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle under integrated watershed management
- Promote sustainable agricultural practices adapted to the new conditions of climate change and efficient technology in production processes supported by
credit.
The project consists of three components:
- Component 1: Conservation of vegetation cover on an area of 230,000 ha, supported by the introduction of the active sustainable forest management and conservation technologies
- Component 2: Adaptation of farming practices to new climate change conditions and enable their climate smart financing
- Component 3: Strengthening of local capacities and share lessons
