PLURINATIONAL STATE OF BOLIVIA GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AMENAZAS CLIMATICAS AMENAZA DE SEQUIA METEOROLÓGICA AMENAZA INUNDACIONES RIESGO DE HELADAS AMENAZA DE DESLIZAMIENTO AMENAZA DE INCENDIO Fuente: Oxfam, . FUNDEPCO 3 IMPACTS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND CHANGE EXTREME EVENTS INTENSIFIED BY CLIMATE CHANGE • Flood: Increase in frequency and intensity of precipitations, has increased flood risk. In the low lands areas, during extreme precipitation events, annual average river runoff has increased by 540%. • Drought: Aggravated by climate change, more intense and longer droughts have been observed in around 40% of Bolivian territory, home to 70% of the population and the poorest. IMPACTS ON INFRAESTRUCTURE La Razón, 2008 THREAT TO FOOD SECURITY IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN BOLIVIA • Health: Malaria, dengue and other vectorborne diseases, show a growing trend, extent and altitude. During ENSO, cases of Acute respiratory diseases, Diarrhea, skin diseases and musculoskeletal were treated.(PAHO/WHO DANA) IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN BOLIVIA • Migration - Survival of indigenous peoples: The Indigenous Peoples are under extreme threat. Arid land now faces increased water shortages, making them among the first internal climate change refugees. • Economic and social impacts: Significant proportion of GDP already lost each year due to climate change. GRADUAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN BOLIVIA • Glaciers: Retreat has accelerated compromising water supplies, food security and potentially hydropower generation. Fuente: IRD Glaciers have retreated 35%-45% in surface in the last 50 years
