Global Warming(Climate change) has been affecting the world in general... but how does that affect Colombia? well, this exercise was carried out to identify the impacts of climate change at a SocioEconomic level in Colombia’s coastal zone which is composed of 12 departments with 60 municipalities framed within ten Coastal Environmental Units (UAC). ]]> 2021-10-29 20:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajosetamayo/i2v7oj2gkcy6pdpu/wish/1854760307 mariajosetamayo https://padlet.com/mariajosetamayo/i2v7oj2gkcy6pdpu/wish/1861743159 There are 23 indicators defined using the risk approach which is combined with the exposure (14 indicators), sensitivity (6 indicators) and adaptive capacity (3 indicators), framed within... Food security human habitat, and infrastructure dimensions. To do this we have official information databases were built regarding the socioeconomic elements exposed, combined with the use of the SLR and coastal erosion-affected areas report, (it reports the dangers of climate change in the coastal zones) it was elaborated by Invemar within the Third National Communication on Climate Change framework. With this report data we are given, indicator matrices were built and the levels of affectation in each indicator were calculated using distribution by quintiles. ]]> 2021-11-02 14:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajosetamayo/i2v7oj2gkcy6pdpu/wish/1861743159 mariajosetamayo https://padlet.com/mariajosetamayo/i2v7oj2gkcy6pdpu/wish/1861744982 The results are showing that towards the year 2100, about 5% of the population and 4.3% of houses will de be affected by the SLR ESPECIALLY IN: The Guapi and Mosquera(Cauca), and la Tola(Nariño) municipalities in the pacific region and Remolino, Sitio Nuevo and Pueblo Viejo(Magdalena municipalities in the Caribbean. in addition to this tourist areas can lose 13% due to coastal erosion (the sea rises) and 5.9% of the port infrastructure and 12% of the roads can be flooded by the SLR. These results constitute an input to support territorial planning, as well as the formulation of municipal and sectoral plans for climate change management on Colombia's coasts.]]> 2021-11-02 14:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajosetamayo/i2v7oj2gkcy6pdpu/wish/1861744982 Environmental Problems mariajosetamayo https://padlet.com/mariajosetamayo/i2v7oj2gkcy6pdpu/wish/1919005485 Environmental Problems
The Majestuous scenery with which Colombia counts, about the maritime paradise of its islands, in actuality, it’s threatened by circumscribing that after the contamination and the bad use that from the hand of the man that it has come imposing is his lands and water.

Noise pollution, a product of outdoor use of pickups is still a minor impact likewise, the indiscriminate felling of forests that over the years have been leaving a negative impact on ecosystems and the species that inhabit them.
