NAP Description: Partnership with the International Center for Tropical Agiculture (CIAT)
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.

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

 
2)
 

Land
use, planning and risk management

 

Scarcity
of mechanisms for including adaptation in current planning tools

 

Lack
of tools/methods [4]

 

National
government (different parts of the government and different ministries),
local governments, public institutions, academia, civil society (including
non-governmental organizations), Andean regional entities 

 

3)

 

Scientific
research and climate observation

 

Lack of data
and information on health and associated variables, and on the impact of
climate change on health in the Andean subregion

 

Lack of data
[1]

 

National and
subnational governments, universities, non-governmental organizations

 

4)

 

Impacts
on production sectors

 

Lack
of economic information and cost-benefit analyses needs for adaptation

 

Lack
of data, lack of tools/methods [Mix]

 

National
and subnational governments, universities, non-governmental organizations

 

5)

 

Land use,
planning and risk management

 

Gaps in
methodologies for promoting processes that facilitate multi-sectoral
adaptation

 

Lack of
actionable knowledge (e.g., in need of repackaging existing knowledge), lack
of tools/methods [Mix]

 

National and
local governments

 

6)

 

Impacts
on production sectors

 

Gaps
in socio-economic information for evaluating the impact of climate change

 

Lack
of data, lack of access [Mix]

 

National
government (different parts of the government and different ministries),
local governments, public institutions, academia, civil society (including
non-governmental organizations)

 

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.

7)

 

Impacts on
production sectors

 

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

 

Lack of data
[1]

 

National and
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 here.
 

12)
