El cambio climático en Chile: tendencias climáticas y percepciones de los agricultores


Resumen


Este documento sugiere la necesidad de utilizar métodos de investigación tanto cualitativos como cuantitativos para involucrar a las partes interesadas en diferentes escalas en el marco de la política de adaptación de Chile. Las tendencias climáticas históricas muestran cambios alarmantes, tanto en la precipitación como en los patrones de temperatura. En gran parte del centro de Chile, la precipitación anual ha disminuido en más de 1 mm por m2 por año desde el siglo XX. Además, a lo largo del siglo XX, han disminuido los grupos socioeconómicos, como los agricultores, están muy expuestos a los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos, siendo conscientes del cambio climático. Además, los agricultores son una fuente confiable de información, mientras que son esenciales para la comprensión de otros temas relacionados con el entorno socioeconómico. Sin embargo, en lugar de ser tomados en consideración durante el proceso de toma de decisiones, a menudo se los deja a un lado. Finalmente, este artículo analiza a fondo las tendencias climáticas en las regiones de Chile central, Coquimbo y Maule, las formas en que los grupos que dependen del clima las perciben y si el gobierno está generando herramientas suficientes para adaptarse a las condiciones climáticas cambiantes.
