¿El problema está en el cielo?

Costa Rica is implementing a strategy of local-scale climate adaptation, exemplified by the "Proyecto Plan A: Territorios resilientes ante el cambio climático," which empowers local governments to develop their own adaptation actions. Approximately 25% of the country's cantons, covering 46% of the territory, have generated specific climate adaptation actions by analyzing local threats and integrating climate variables into territorial planning. The approach emphasizes the inclusion of historically excluded groups, such as indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants, women, and youth, in the governance and implementation of these measures.

• Costa Rica is identified as being in one of the regions most exposed and vulnerable to extreme hydrometeorological phenomena, which leads to impacts on livelihoods, social and productive infrastructure, and increased displacement of people in poverty.
• The "Proyecto Plan A: Territorios resilientes ante el cambio climático," implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Energy with technical support from UNEP and funding from the Green Climate Fund, focuses on improving local governments' access to climate services and their capacity to manage adaptation initiatives.
• Nearly one quarter of Costa Rica's cantons, representing 46% of the national territory, have developed their own climate adaptation actions and are integrating climate change variables into territorial planning tools.
• Local adaptation planning processes have actively included historically excluded populations, including indigenous communities, Afro-descendant populations, women, and youth, alongside civil society, private companies, and academia.
• The document identifies a critical need for further investment in meteorological institutes and climate services to improve data access and decision-making, as well as tools to measure the reduction of damages and losses at the local level.
