Zusammenfassung |
The Andes as mountain regions worldwide, provide fundamental resources, not
only for the local population. Due to the topographic characteristics, the
potential for natural hazards is higher than elsewhere. In these areas,
assessments of climate change impacts and the development of adequate
adaptation strategies therefore become particular important. The data basis,
however, is often scarce. Moreover, perceptions of changes and needs are
often divergent between national and local levels, which make the
implementation of adaptation measures a challenge. Taking the Peruvian Andes
as an example, this paper aims at initiating a discussion about scientific
baseline and integrative concepts needed to deal with the adverse effects of
climate change in mountain regions. |
