Enhancing Adaptive Capacity of Andean Communities through Climate Services (ENANDES) (Chile, Colombia, Peru)

The proposed project “Enhancing Adaptive Capacity of Andean Communities through Climate Services” – hereafter “ENANDES” – seeks to enhance the capacity of society and communities to adapt to a varying and changing climate by producing, communicating and assessing the use of credible, authoritative, and useful information as the scientific evidence for decision- and policy-making on preparedness for, and reduction of damages from climatic hazards in Chile, Colombia and Peru. Because increasing societal resilience to climate is not just about enhancing information, ENANDES will help build human and infrastructure capacity, and will seek to overcome institutional, technological and cultural barriers through increased coordination among climate and non-climate actors of society.
