Cultivating the future: agroecology, ancestral knowledge, associativity and women's participation for climate resilience in high mountain areas
Colombia's Sumapaz and Chingaza regions host vital habitats that provide essential water and food resources, while playing a crucial role in environmental and biodiversity conservation. Today, these regions are facing significant challenges in averting the negative impacts of climate change.
With support from the SCALA programme community organizations such as the Community Climate Action Labs (LABCAC) have established resource centers throughout the region to combat these challenges. The resource centers serve the community as experimental spaces for collective innovation, training, and learning with the objective of promoting climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and resource management.
Discover how the SCALA programme is strengthening such community organizations in Colombia's Sumapaz and Chingaza moors. By enhancing local and organizational capacities in peasant family farming, SCALA aims to improve climate knowledge management and promote self-managed climate adaptation.
