6Municipalidad de La Paz50364BoliviaLa Paz2015Frequent/Intense RainfallExtremely seriousMedium-termEl cambio climático podría incrementar lluvias intensas, causantes de inundaciones que podrían llevar a daños significativos de infraestructura. De acuerdo a escenarios regionales, se espera una reducción de los periodos de lluvia, con una probabilidad creciente de fuertes lluvias en periodos de tiempo cortos. En este sentido, Bolivia aun carece de sistemas para estudiar los patrones de lluvias, así como de sistemas de alerta temprana, lo que incrementa la vulnerabilidad de la población, en especial de los asentamientos humanos no planificados. Asimismo, muchas cuencas en nuestro país no cuentan con sistemas de manejo integrado de recursos acuáticos en marcha, ni contemplan actividades tendientes a la protección de cuencas. Esto se traduce en la degradación de suelos, la declinación de la recarga de acuíferos y la reducción de la disponibilidad de agua, lo que, en su conjunto, reduce la productividad económica y los ingresos de la población.(-16.5°, -68.15°)(-16.290154°, -63.588653°)

8Municipalidad de La Paz50364BoliviaLa Paz2015Temperature Increase/HeatwavesExtremely seriousMedium-termLa reducción de glaciares debido al calentamiento global puede incrementar escorrentías estacionales en el corto plazo, así como aumentar la dependencia de lluvias estacionales para el suministro de agua en el mediano a largo plazo. De esta manera la creciente escasez de agua en el área metropolitana de La Paz y El Alto mermará su crecimiento poblacional; la producción agropecuaria del altiplano se verá afectada por el clima desfavorable.(-16.5°, -68.15°)(-16.290154°, -63.588653°)
