NAP Summary:
Page Content:
A) Priority Setting Workshop:
As part of the implementation of the Lima Adaptation Knowledge Initiative (LAKI) for the Andean subregion, the International Center for
Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) collaborated with UN Environment and the UNFCCC
secretariat to organize a priority-setting workshop on
24-26
September 2014 in Bogota, Colombia.
The purpose of this
workshop was to identify a set of prioritized adaptation knowledge gaps
and a preliminary list of response actions and associated institutions
for addressing these gaps in the subregion. Please click here to access the
full workshop report
. A multidisciplinary stakeholder group of core experts discussed and agreed to a pool of 13 priority adaptation
knowledge gaps for the Andean subregion through a
multi-criteria analysis approach. Participants also provided a
preliminary list of potential response actions, noting concrete deliverables and target beneficiaries, and provided advice as to the best-placed
organisations to undertake such responses.
B) Priority Adaptation Knowledge Gaps and Actions Undertaken to Close the Priority Knowledge Gaps:
No.

Gap Description
Cluster
Knowledge user
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

Land
use, planning and risk management
Scarcity
of mechanisms for including adaptation in current planning tools
Lack
of tools/methods [4]

National
and subnational governments, universities, non-governmental organizations
5)
Land use,

production sectors
Scarcity of
sectoral analyses on the costs of climate change and on the investment needs
for adaptation

local governments
8)
Land
use, planning and risk management
Gaps
in information on tools for territorial planning and land use
Lack
of data, lack of tools/methods [Mix]
National
and local governments, academia: universities and relevant research centres,
private sector: trade and associations, civil society, including
non-governmental organizations, organizations for development cooperation
9)
Scientific
research and climate observation
Gaps in the
analyses of social variables, and of supply and demand for water, associated
with different climate change scenarios
Lack of data
[1]
National and
local governments
10)
Impacts
on production sectors
Scarcity
of information and of analyses relating to the impact of climate change on
agricultural and livestock production systems
Lack
of data [1]
Regional
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

communities
Lack
of access, lack of tools/methods [Mix]
Local
governments, academia, universities, private sector; farmer associations,
civil society, including non-governmental organizations
13)
