    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.
