With the participation of local authorities, specialists and representatives of organizations committed to the sustainable management of water, natural resources and the protection of ecosystems such as watersheds, three workshops were held in Huaraz, San Martin and Cajamarca, laying the foundations for strengthening the resilience of communities and ecosystems in the face of the climate crisis

“May this be the beginning of a great change in our region,” said Magda Farro, vice-governor of the Regional Government of Cajamarca.

 

These meetings addressed the scope of the project in the three intervention basins: the Santa Basin (Huaraz), the Chancay-Lambayeque Basin (Cajamarca) and the Bajo Huallaga and Paranapura Basin (San Martín). In addition, local initiatives for adaptation to climate change were identified and inter-institutional dialogue was promoted for the implementation of sustainable solutions. The events, which took place in Cajamarca, Huaraz and San Martín, were attended by Magda Farro, vice-governor of the Regional Government, as well as representatives of public and private institutions.  These events were carried out by Profonanpe and the lead partners (Instituto de la Montaña; IMAR Costa Norte and CODEPISAM).

The #CuencasVivas project is financed by the Adaptation Fund and led by Profonanpe, with the purpose of increasing the adaptive capacity of rural populations to the effects of climate change. This initiative promotes strategic actions in water regulation, sustainable agriculture, food security and conservation of key ecosystems in the north of the country.

“These workshops have allowed us to consolidate strategic alliances and define concrete actions to improve climate resilience in these watersheds,” said Odile Sanchez, project manager at Profonanpe.

The closing of these workshops reaffirms Cuencas Vivas’ commitment to environmental sustainability and adaptation to climate change, betting on an effective articulation between the public sector, civil society and international cooperation for a more resilient future.
