Propuesta de mitigacion y adaptacion al cambio climatico vinculada a la planificacion territorial de la parroquia El Altar, cantón Penipe, provincia de Chimborazo, periodo 2015-2019.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to design a proposal about mitigation and adaptation of climate change linked to the territorial planning in the Altar parrish, Penipe city, which belongs to the province of Chimborazo from 2015 to 2019. The research encompassed 6 phases: First, we developed a characterization according to the guidelines established by the Secretaría Naconal de Planificación y Desarrollo (SENPLADES). Second, we determined the climatic change in the area, evaluating its evolution within 30 years. Third, we defined the vision and strategic objectives with a climatic change perspective. Fourth, we determined the project related to the production and possession of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Fifth, the vulnerability of programs and projects was determined according to their exposure, sensitivity, and ability to adapt. Sixth, The proposal linked to territorial planning was designed. We analyzed the proposals with and without a project through the t-test, with the following results: the implementation and forest restoration based on the climate temporality and reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases would increase the capture of CO2 going from 106.60 to 959.17 TnCO2/Ha/year. With the establishment of genetically improved livestock units, the CH4 emission would be reduced, going from 9.5 to 4.75 Tn CH4 /Ha/year. The establishment of agricultural units with integrated management would reduce the emission of CO2, going from 2240.74 to 1995, 18 TnCO2 /Ha /year. Concluding that the current situation of the Altar parish based on the biophysical, economic-productive components, human settlements, mobility, energy and connectivity are influenced by the increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall. It is recommended to follow up on the implementation of the mitigation and adaptation proposal to climate change, linked to the current legal regulations.
