Chile is a country vulnerable to Climate Change
Temperature rises are expected
between 2C and 4C across
the country, at the end of the
century.
Rainfall patterns will change
from north to south , resulting in
water shortage especially in the
central part of the country
where 70% of the total
population is living and water
abundance in the southern part
of Chile.

Glaciers, which act as strategic
water reserves, will continue
to retreat.

Snow storage capacity in the
mountain areas will decrease
because of increasing
temperature.

2006: The Chilean government defines its
National Strategy for Climate Change
for three strategic axes

Public Policy for Climate Change in Chile
2008: The Chilean government published its
National Action Plan for Climate Change:2008-2012
which, among others, identified 7 priority areas for
sectorial adaptation plans:
Water resources
Biodiversity
Agriculture &Forestry
Energy
Fisheries and aquaculture
Health
Infrastructure
Coastal areas
Mitigation


Adaptation


Capacity building
1994: Chile ratifies the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the
Kyoto Protocol.

Plans and related activities for
the three strategic Climate
Change axes:
mitigation
adaptation
capacity building,
including climate finance
mobilization and the
monitoring and evaluation of
the respective actions and
initiatives.

region of OHiggins (Financing of pilot projects of the National Climate Adaptation
Plan for Agriculture and Forestry; submitted to the Adaptation Fund (UNFCCC)

Strengthening the adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and
aquaculture sector of Chile (Financing of components of the National Climate
Adaptation Plan for Fisheries and Aquaculture, submitted to GEF (Special Climate

Medida N 5
Programa nacional para fomentar la gestin eficiente y sustentable
del agua en la agricultura de riego.
Objetivo
Optimizar el uso del agua de riego a nivel predial a travs de una
intensiva accin de mejoramiento tecnolgico y procedimientos de
gestin del recurso.
Lineamiento Ministerial 1.- Mejorar la competitividad de la Agricultura
Descripcin de las acciones
Gestionar, administrar y focalizar recursos orientados a la
inversin en obras de riego y drenaje.
Fomento de la inversin privada en obras de riego y drenaje a
travs de la bonificacin de una parte de la inversin de
proyectos de tecnificacin de riego intrapredial y/o mejoras en
los sistemas de conduccin de las aguas.
