Lessons learned on the achievement of the Joint Program of Climate Change Adaption in the Colombian Massif [Luis Alfonso Ortega]
Lessons learned on the achievement of the Joint Program of Climate Change Adaption in the Colombian Massif (Andean Belt Constellation Biosphere Reserve - Cauca Basin) with indigenous and peasant communities to affront the effects of climate change. Presented by Luis Alfonso Ortega at the "Perth II: Global Change and the World's Mountains" conference in Perth, Scotland in September 2010.

Vulnerability Assessment Objectives
1. Establish a participatory manner based on the
identification of climate hazards and levels of climate
variability, to prioritize adaptation measures whit the
communities.
2. Develop a participatory manner to the implementation
of a transition route for adaptation.
This project has a duration of three years and ends in February 2011. But only three months ago, we began the implementation of measures. For this
reason we need to plan a route, so that communities can continue to
lead the process
Exchange of experience
building and strengthening networks.
Intercultural teams,
respect for organizational forms
agreement of confidentiality of information.
Joint agendas,
learning - doing,
training of trainers
Project Strategies
Participatory
methodology
for vulnerability
analysis and
definition of
adaptation
strategies
Activity 1:
• Socialization and consultation with local and regional actors
Activity 2:
• Structuring the evaluation of vulnerability: definitions,
frameworks and objectives “construct languages – DIALOGO DE SABERES”
Activity 3: • Sensitivity assessment: Current Vulnerability
Activity 4: • Future vulnerability assessment
Activity 5: • Linking the results of vulnerability assessment and adaptation with strategies policies
For example. The indigenous authorities require to the families, plant at least 3 food species resistant to climate change (quinoa, amaranth, wild beans) and also establish windbreaks, etc
Vulnerability to climate change and variability
What we look?
Knowing the baseline of current vulnerability to
climate change
Where?
52 villages (in the municipalities and Popayan Puracé)
Why?
Limited presence of actions and policies related to climate change
Based on what?
Four axis of focus (production systems, health, water and natural risk)
For what?
Develop strategies to increase resilience
How?
With a system of indicators (scientific and empirical)
With what? Community surveys (Consensus statistics) and household surveys
Systematization: degrees of vulnerability
