dc.description.abstractThe impact of climate change will be much greater in highlands communities. This brochure shows the decline in two Bolivian tropical glaciers: The Mururata and Illimani. It also recommends some adaptation strategies for the Sajhuaya River micro-basin, whose source is the Illimani glacier. The tropical glaciers of the Andes are particularly sensitive to climate change since the process of glacier ice accumulation only occurs under certain conditions during the summer months when rainfall is more intense. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2008) projections indicate that water stored in glaciers and snow cover will decline, reducing water availability.en
