Increased the Temperature (when start wet season) and Extreme low in dry season Increased rain intensive events by erratic way Mixed both factors it is generating more evapotranspiration SGP Guatemala Region Climate Effects
Climate Change Risks in Guatemala Erosions and flooding generates dougth around the middle of the watershed specialty in dry season Intensive of the rain, soil coberture is not grown and it could be susceptible to frozen in highlands of watershed. It stress the feed security and fenology of the ecosystems Rain seasson in down lands of the watershed its flooding affecting coast and marines ecosystems Actualmente todas las cuencas se encuentras en riesgo a causa de los eventos extremos a lo largo del año
Adicionalidad desde la Línea Base planteada Agriculture: • Delays in rain season • Increasing frequency or intensity of the doughts • Increasing frequency or intensity of floodings • Increasing intensity of huracanes and tropical storms in erratic way • Increasing frequency of dry periods between or inside the rain season (canícula o veranillos) Hydric Resourses Evapotranspiración increased Erosión increased by incremento of tropical storms and rain intensity Fenología species ecosystem are changing by water stressing Focal Areas • Land Degradation y • Biodiversity
