Corpoguajira implements actions to strengthen the responsiveness of the population against natural hazards due to the effects of climate variability in the lower basin of Tapias and rivers Rancheria Guajira, project implementation by implementing mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Variability in the Lower Rio Tapias Watersheds and Integrated Management District River Rancheria, Guajira to be executed by the Association of Professionals and Environmental Department of La Guajira (ASOPAGUA).

This project was socialized in the districts of Las Flores, Matitas, 4 November and Aremasain, where we interact with communities and we released detailed information about the actions that take place.

Develop environmental education processes in communities, on mitigation of greenhouse gases and adaptation to climate variability from the situational context and establish a situational analysis to productive systems of the study area, taking action to mitigate and adapt to climate variability in the lower basin of the rivers and Rancheria Tapias, It is what is intended under the project.

During the socializations they were revealed the scope and objective of the project, so that populations overseers of the advanced actions and become active players during the execution of the.
