Study Notes
Cambio Climático
Políticas De Mitigación
- Definición: Estrategias implementadas para reducir o limitar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.
-
Objetivos:
- Reducir el calentamiento global.
- Proteger los ecosistemas y la biodiversidad.
-
Ejemplos de políticas:
- Acuerdos internacionales (Ej: Acuerdo de París).
- Regulaciones de emisiones para la industria y el transporte.
- Promoción de tecnologías limpias y sostenibles.
-
Instrumentos económicos:
- Impuestos al carbono.
- Sistemas de comercio de emisiones.
- Importancia del involucramiento: Necesaria la participación de gobiernos, empresas y ciudadanos.
Energías Renovables
- Definición: Fuentes de energía que se regeneran naturalmente y son sostenibles a largo plazo.
-
Tipos principales:
- Solar: Captura de energía del sol mediante paneles fotovoltaicos.
- Eólica: Generación de energía a través del viento usando aerogeneradores.
- Hidroeléctrica: Uso del flujo de agua para generar electricidad.
- Biomasa: Aprovechamiento de materia orgánica para producir energía.
- Geotérmica: Utilización del calor interno de la Tierra.
-
Beneficios:
- Reducción de emisiones de CO2.
- Diversificación de fuentes de energía y seguridad energética.
- Creación de empleo en el sector verde.
-
Desafíos:
- Costos de instalación y mantenimiento.
- Intermitencia en la producción (especialmente en solar y eólica).
Adaptación Comunitaria
- Definición: Estrategias locales para ajustar y prepararse ante los efectos del cambio climático.
-
Componentes clave:
- Evaluación de vulnerabilidades locales.
- Desarrollo de infraestructuras resilientes (drenajes, edificios).
- Protección de recursos naturales (agua, suelos).
-
Ejemplos de adaptación:
- Cultivos resistentes al clima.
- Sistemas de alerta temprana para fenómenos extremos.
- Capacitación comunitaria en gestión de riesgos.
-
Importancia del enfoque comunitario:
- Empoderamiento local y participación activa.
- Soluciones personalizadas que reflejan las necesidades específicas de la comunidad.
- Colaboración interinstitucional: Necesaria la cooperación entre gobiernos, ONGs y ciudadanos para implementar efectivas estrategias de adaptación.
Climate Change
Mitigation Policies
- Definition: Strategies aimed at reducing or limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Objectives:
- Mitigate global warming.
- Protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
-

Community Adaptation
- Definition: Local strategies to adjust and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
-
Key Components:
- Assessment of local vulnerabilities.
- Development of resilient infrastructures (such as drainage systems and buildings).
- Protection of natural resources like water and soil.
-
Examples of Adaptation:
- Climate-resistant crops.
- Early warning systems for extreme weather events.
- Community training in risk management.
-
Importance of Community Approach:
- Empowers local populations and encourages active participation.
- Tailored solutions addressing specific community needs.
- Interinstitutional Collaboration: Necessary cooperation between governments, NGOs, and citizens for effective adaptation strategies.
