description |
The livelihoods of communities in rural
areas of Peru are predominantly dependent on
climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture. Given their
close connection with the environment, the understanding of
how these communities perceive risks and how they adapt to
and cope with climate hazards is important for identifying
entry points for efforts aimed at building resilience. In
this context, it is assumed that the successful use of
climate information will depend on appropriate information
formats that fit the decision-making structure of
communities as stakeholders and also have their trust. In
connection with collecting information of community
knowledge on environmental predictors of weather and
climatic conditions and recommendations for
capacity-building needs, it is hoped that the report will
provide valuable, initial guidance on which elements play an
important role in strengthening the adaptive capacity of
communities to climate variability and change. The objective
of part one is to place climate variability and change into
the broader development of Peru and outline risk management
structures. This overview will then be contrasted with the
perceptions of risks and vulnerabilities and coping and
adaptation strategies at the community level described in
part two for Northwestern Peru and the altiplano, which are
regions considered highly vulnerable to climate-related
hazards. The report concludes by developing a set of
overarching and locale-specific recommendations. |
