ADAPTACIÓN AL CALENTAMIENTO GLOBAL: ¿DÓNDE Y A QUÉ ADAPTARNOS?

The document analyzes temperature trends in the central Peruvian Andes using MODIS satellite data, finding that warming is occurring across the region but intensifies with altitude. It highlights the risk to high-mountain ecosystems and water supplies, urging for targeted research and adaptation policies for high-risk regions and crops.

• Analysis of MODIS satellite data from 2000 to 2017 reveals that temperature increases in the central Andes are altitude-dependent, with warming intensifying at higher elevations. Specifically, areas between 1000 and 1500 meters above sea level (msnm) showed a warming of 0.05 °C/year, while areas above 5000 msnm reached 0.18 °C/year.
• Climate warming in the tropical Andes is significantly impacting the hydrological cycle, leading to a notable decrease in glacier mass balance. Glaciers located below 5400 msnm are particularly vulnerable and may disappear in the coming decades, a process accelerated during El Niño years.
