New publications: Guide on Climate Change Adaptation in Mountain Ecosystems

In the ELLA Programme they have systematized, analysed and produced development knowledge of evidence and lessons from Latin America in selected themes in environmental management, economic development and governance.

They have recently published a set of knowledge materials about Latin America’s efforts in climate change adaptation in mountain ecosystems.  In the Guide on Climate Change Adaptation in Mountain Ecosystems you will find the full list of these publications.  

Our work includes short briefs on four key adaptation issues:

• How Traditional Knowledge and Technologies are Contributing to Climate Change Adaptation in Latin America’s Mountains

• Key Advances in Water Management and Climate Change Adaptation in Latin America’s Mountains

• Innovative Mountain Adaptation: A Case Study in Agroforestry’s Economic, Environmental and Social Benefits

• Strengthening Agrobiodiversity: A Key Adaptation Strategy for Latin America’s Mountain Ecosystems

There are also key organisations and key publications on this theme. Other thematic areas in environmental management with knowledge materials already include climate change adaptation in semi-arid and arid regions, andurban environmental governance. Just visit ELLA Programme website.

Production is also underway for new themes related to environmental management, including: adaptation in cities; city mitigation; strategic environmental assessments; afforestation; and Brazil’s ethanol programme.
