Climate Change Adaptation Program (GPAP); June 6, 2014
Agency
Name
USAID
Description
One
important effect of global climate change is the reduction in naturally stored
water resources which, for Peru, means melting glaciers and a decrease in the size
of highland wetlands (paramos). The loss of these
areas decreases water availability for upland and lowland communities and
increases the potential for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). This APS
seeks to stimulate adaptation projects that assist indigenous mountain
communities, rural and urban areas, and local and regional governments
potentially affected by GLOFs or changes in water availability. General project
outcomes will be long-term, sustainable approaches that help reduce the impact
of climate change on glaciated and highland wetland ecosystems and on those
that depend on these ecosystems' services. Concept Papers under this APS will
be accepted throughout the period of this APS. Because USAID funding under this
APS is limited and will be apportioned on a rolling basis, applicants are
strongly encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible to ensure
funding availability.
