Actions Undertaken to Close the Priority Gaps |
|
1)
|
Scientific
research and climate observation
|
Gaps in
integrated research on the effects of climate change on ecosystem services,
and their relationship with the quality of life of populations
|
Lack of data,
lack of actionable knowledge (e.g., in need of repackaging existing
knowledge), lack of tools/methods [Mix] |
Authorities and
ministries for water and irrigation, human consumption, enterprises for
drinking water and hydro-energy, ministries and agencies for planning,
authorities for the environment, carbon markets, authorities for the
environment, plant breeders
|
Graduate students from a NWP partner, Yale University (School of Forestry and Environmental Studies) in partnership with NWP partners IUCN and The Mountain Institute (TMI) assessed the monitoring, evaluation and learning systems of an ecosystem-based adaptation project in the Peruvian highlands. They produced specific actionable recommendations for strengthening new and existing monitoring, evaluation and learning frameworks. View the online story map here. Case study on the AKP is available here |

with different climate change scenarios
|
Lack of data
[1]
|

local governments
|
|
|
10)
|

governments, national government (different parts of the government and
different ministries), local governments, public institutions, academia,
civil society, including non-governmental organizations
|
|
|
11)
|
Scientific
research and climate observation
|
Gaps in
research and the exchange of knowledge on techniques, and in the optimization
of technologies for managing hydric resources and adapting to the effects of
climate change
|
Lack of data
[1]
|
Authorities and
ministries for water and irrigation, human consumption, enterprises for
drinking water and hydro-energy, ministries and agencies for planning,
authorities for the environment, carbon markets, authorities for the
environment, plant breeders
|
Graduate students from Yale University (Yale School of the Environment), in partnership with NWP partners, IUCN and, The Mountain Institute, evaluated the exchange of knowledge for water management practices and techniques, including indigenous and ancestral practices, from rural mountain communities to the national government in Peru. Through exploring existing knowledge exchange the research aims to increase access to data to fill this gap. Find the case study here. |
