dc.description.abstractBolivia’s second highest mountain, the Illimani glacier, is a natural water reservoir that regulates water provision for downstream communities. Different adaptation strategies between the upper and lower part of this small area, and the need for dynamic research-action oriented programs are identified as essential. Climate change is already affecting water rights, crop patterns, and upward expanding productive areas in the tropical Andes. The Illimani project studies Illimani’s glacier-dependent area in a physical and socio-productive context to generate participative adaptation strategies to counter some effects of climate change and climate variability.en
