Abstract: La gestión del agua en comunidades rurales, urbanas y periurbanas es un tema prioritario para el desarrollo del ser humano; en el presente artículo se puntualizan ideas relacionadas con la cogestión adecuada de este recurso (entre actores comunitarios y públicos) como una herramienta de adaptación a escenarios contemporáneos de Cambio Climático Global. El área de estudio corresponde a una zona periurbana de Quito. Se ordenó y procesó la información con el software ATLAS.ti y un sistema de información geográfic… Show more

The retreat of glaciers is a reality throughout the Andes Mountain range, especially in low-altitude mountains. One of these cases is the loss of the remaining ice mass in Carihuairazo (Tungurahua, Ecuador), which in recent years has experienced a considerable retreat. This research aims to characterize the retreat of this glacier and its implications for the nearby community (Cunucyacu) through the application of a multi-source methodology, which includes the collection of glacier aerial photographs, data from nearby meteorological stations, the use of global climate reanalysis data, interviews with community members, and mountaineers who work and frequent the area. To characterize the glacier’s mass evolution, a hydroglaciological model was applied, using input data from meteorological series, and its parameters were calibrated with the photographic record of the glacier’s outline. The results show a glacier loss of 99% of its surface in 1956 (0.34 ) by 2021. The model successfully simulates the glacier area variation over 67 years, revealing a continuous decrease since 1978, with short periods of recovery and equilibrium, where temperature is the variable that best explains the glacier’s retreat. However, the model fails to consider the effect of external factors, such as the eruption of the Tungurahua volcano that could enhance the glacier retreat. The Carihuairazo glacier is in a situation of inevitable disappearance, highlighting the vulnerabilities of communities facing this phenomenon as a consequence of climate change.

This work analyzes the interaction between climate risk, caused by extreme events resulting from the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon and/or Climate Change, and its impact on local health services in Ecuador. The analysis focuses on Ecuador’s growing vulnerability to the effects of climate change, which exacerbates challenges in the delivery of health services, particularly in the context of severe climate events. The main objective is to analyze the relationship between the number of hectares affected by climate events and the availability and effectiveness of local health services, considering community resilience and health coverage as moderating variables. The methodology uses a linear regression analysis using data from 221 Ecuadorian municipalities, covering variables such as climate risk, health services, community resilience, health coverage, and demographic and socioeconomic factors. The results indicate a significant influence of climate risk on the effectiveness of health services, moderated by community resilience and health coverage. It is observed that areas with greater preparation and health coverage show a better capacity to respond to extreme weather events. Finally, it is important to integrate climate risk management into health services planning, suggesting that greater community resilience and broad health coverage are essential to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on public health.
