Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change on Mountain Hydrology: Development of a Methodology through a Case Study in Peru

The document outlines efforts to create tools for assessing how climate change affects surface hydrology in the Peruvian Andes, specifically focusing on water regulation and its subsequent impacts on energy and agriculture.

• Climate change is expected to affect water regulation in the Andes through changes in rainfall patterns, temperature, the retreat of tropical glaciers, the drying of Andean wetland ecosystems, and increased weather variability and extremes.
• Changes in water availability and regulation due to climate change may result in economic effects and impacts on sectors including agriculture and energy.
• There is currently a lack of projections regarding climate impacts on resource availability and a further lack of application of such projections in sustainable economic development planning.
