Cambio climático y planes de desarrollo y ordenamiento territorial cantonales vigentes. Caso de estudio provincia de Galápagos

Abstract

Abstract: The CC is presented as one of the main challenges in the field of Planning Territorial, requiring strategies to address the degradation of ecosystems, the loss of species and other phenomena harmful to nature and human well-being. In Galapagos, the CC threatens biodiversity, the local economy and the security of the towns. The integration of the CC in territorial planning at the national, provincial and local levels is essential. This research analyzes how CC is incorporated into Development Plans and Cantonal Territorial Planning of the province of Galapagos, through the guides and national strategies. The comparative analysis will allow establishing guidelines for a effective incorporation of CC in planning, promoting resilience and sustainability in the cantons. Contributing directly, on the one hand, to the local governments of the province to highlight the weaknesses of its planning tools and their improvement, as well as the academy, in supporting from case studies the need to understand the need to link CC not only with the hard sciences but also with planning.
