HIGH MOUNTAIN ECOSYSTEMS- HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Located over 2740msnm. 3.7% (4.210.000ha). Andean Forests 23% 48% Protected Areas. 70% of the population depends on ES . High Vulnerability to Water Supply for
consumption, agriculture, energy. T increase: 1,4 (11-40)2,4 (41-70) 2,5 or
more, over 2.700msnm. Increase in Extreme Events: (El Niño y La
Niña). Glacier melting.

Objectives: Support Colombia’s efforts to define and implement specific pilot adaptation measures and policy options to meet the anticipated impacts from CC.
Results:•Reliable climate information to monitor major climate change vulnerabilities in health, mountain ecosystems and coastal and insular areas.•Weather data and climate change projections published, including climate variability models.

• Adaptation is at the center of sustainable development, and has
to be internalized at different territorial/sectoral levels.• Learning by doing processes, responding to demands.• Formulated with best available science, and local knowledge.• Long term process- important to have a broad focus acting as a
catalyst, and mobilize multiple funding.• Way to bring institutions to work cooperatively in a topic that
requires cross-sectoral cooperation.• Indicators have to be included, to ensure progress.
Lessons Learned

• Cross sectoral and bottom up approaches have to be developed.
• Guidance is needed to be promoted within sound ecosystem based management and to promote greater resilience of communities and ecosystems.
• A landscape management approach is key.• Cross disciplinary skills that effectively address socio-ecological
systems are necessary.

• Public &Private partnerships are essential.• CCA should be downscaled with a territorial perspective.• Vulnerability assessments should be focused on main
ecosystem services and local livelihoods. CC and others threats have to be considered.
• Integrating livelihoods in a more comprehensive way would contribute to understand linkages between social and ecological systems.
