About this project

Description

1.The proposed project aims to transform the management of vulnerable ecosystems in Peru's mountain ecosystems to alleviate the direct and indirect impacts of climate change (CC) on globally significant biodiversity and ecosystem functionality. This will be achieved through a three-pronged approach: development of management systems (monitoring and early warning systems, management decision making tools and sustainable financing) in order to optimize readiness at national level to address the anticipated implications of CC on mountain ecosystems; expanding and strengthening PAs in landscapes that are particularly sensitive to climate change, in order to protect refugia and corridors and to build readiness to address specific CC impacts; and promoting sustainable land management in the landscape immediately surrounding these PAs in order to anticipate the increased threats that current land uses may pose to biodiversity and ecosystem functions. This is necessary to reduce pressures on the ecosystem, in order to render them more resilient to the expected impacts of climate change.

Objectives

to enhance the resilience of vulnerable ecosystems to the impacts of climate change in PAs and surrounding landscapes , and thereby to secure their biodiversity and ecosystem functionality and derivative ecosystem services including greenhouse gas sequestration and emissions reduction.
