- Abstract
The University of Manizales, through the Center for Research on Environment and Development (CIMAD) and the Masters in Sustainable Development and Environment, develops and implements the research project "State and prospects of possibilities for adaptation and mitigation of the impact of climate change in different regions of the country". This project proposes, among others, to explore the conditions mitigating the impacts of change that may be present on vulnerable populations and their willingness to prevention, and also to describe the risk mitigation actions developed at the state and private sectors. In this article we present the mitigation conditions on the Colombian Atlantic Coast, and the public and private actions that are being developed to achieve this goal, understanding mitigation as human intervention to reduce climate impacts on the affected population by climatic events through source reduction strategies and emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and promotion of sinks (forest conservation and restoration).
