The Adaptation Fund was established to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries that are parties to the Kyoto Protocol and are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.

Titre : Comprehensive Multi-Energy Isolated System for Community-Based Food Security in the Chilean Patagonia

Country : Chili

Date : 2022
Durée : 1 years

Objectifs
The main objective of the project is to increase the adaptive capacity and to build resilience of small-scale agricultural producers in the face of the impacts of climate change and climate variability by developing a technological solution that facilitates the integration of diverse small and local energy resources to cover, simultaneously, the electrical and thermal, together with technologies for water capturing and its efficient consumption, to ensure the food provision of a pre-defined community.

The address the main objective, the following specific objectives are defined : 1. Enhance the resilience of small-scale agricultural producers of the south of Chile, vulnerable to climate change by identifying, adapting, and implementing appropriate technological solutions (e.g., greenhouses). 2. Strengthen energy and water independence of small-scale agricultural producers to mitigate the effects of climate change in their activities using local energy resources (including waste-to-energy approaches), the integration of water/rain capture technologies, and management systems for the efficient use of both energy and water, and therefore guarantee the food provision. 3. Identify alternatives for the diversification of the economic activities of communities of small-scale agricultural producers by adding value, in a sustainable way, to their local products and for defining strategies for their local commercialization in a context of climate change. 4. Improve the capacities at the territorial level for decision making and management of the implementation of adaptation measures and actions to address the effect of climate change and variability in small-scale agricultural production in the south of Chile.
