Regional Climate Change Strategy of Áncash 2016–2021

The Regional Climate Change Strategy of Áncash 2016–2021 established the regional public policy framework for climate change management and for promoting climate-resilient and low-carbon development. The strategy defined three strategic objectives: improving the adaptive capacity of the population, livelihoods, and ecosystems to current and potential impacts of climate variability and climate change; contributing to greenhouse gas emission reductions and the conservation of carbon stocks; and strengthening climate change governance at the regional and local levels. It also promoted the integration of climate change management into regional and local planning and investment instruments, coordination among public institutions and territorial stakeholders, and actions in areas such as agriculture, water resources, ecosystems, infrastructure, energy, education, and risk management.
