Although it is already known that climate change causes many damages and effects on agriculture, this research delves into the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Ecuador and exposes the adaptation measures that can be implemented to improve the resilience of the agricultural sector.To do this, the thesis includes a documentary research based on the systematic review of information based on aspects such as the types of measures proposed by several countries in the region and Europe and their relevance to the Ecuadorian case. The research shows that although several initiatives in this area have been promoted in Ecuador, they have not yet been able to incubate correctly given the lack of planning and organization on the part of the delegated institutions, therefore, it is expected that there will be strengthening institution in the future.
