Department of Sustainability and Climate Change

Core Objective

El Departamento de Sostenibilidad y Cambio Climático nace el 08 de febrero de 2022, en la sesión Nº11-21/22-GO de la Junta Directiva General del CFIA mediante el Acuerdo Nº17, como parte del proyecto “Mejorando los servicios climáticos para inversiones en infraestructura”, y como respuesta a la creciente necesidad de trabajar en metodologías y herramientas que incorporen el uso de servicios climáticos en los procesos de toma de decisiones sobre proyectos de infraestructura, como parte de la gestión del riesgo y la adaptación ante los impactos de eventos extremos.

The primary objective is to promote the development of communities that are resilient to the impacts of climate change, not only through capacity building among decision-makers, community leaders, and professional and technical teams, but also through the CFIA's participation in various initiatives and projects focused on adaptation, in conjunction with different stakeholders, with the goal of achieving the general well-being of the population.

Small actions, big impacts.
