Ríos del Páramo al Valle: por urbes y campinas creando capacidad de adaptación en la planeación de recursos hídricos

The 'Ríos del Páramo al Valle' project utilized Robust Decision Support (RDR) methodologies to help Colombian environmental authorities plan water resources under climate change. Key outcomes included the training of regional and national leaders and the evaluation of alternatives to reduce climate vulnerability. The report identifies critical barriers to success, including insufficient data (socioeconomic and technical), the need for stronger commitment from senior management within Regional Autonomous Corporations (CAR), and the necessity of integrating basin planning with existing national planning instruments to overcome challenges posed by Colombia's decentralized water governance system.

• The project focused on strengthening capacities and creating tools for water resource planning through the participation of academic institutions and Regional Autonomous Corporations (CAR), resulting in the formation of regional and national leaders capable of incorporating climate change into planning.
• Technical implementation faced challenges regarding efficiency and data availability; specifically, a lack of socioeconomic and general information created uncertainties and undermined the credibility of the developed models.
• Colombia's decentralized water governance system, managed by the CAR, provides opportunities for regional management but creates difficulties for national integration, necessitating better knowledge exchange between regional and national levels and the alignment of basin planning with current national planning instruments.
