270Municipality of Medellín35873ColombiaMedellín2015OtherSeriousMedium-term2. Medellín es una ciudad particularmente sensible a los cambios en el clima, bien sea atribuibles a la variabilidad climática o al cambio climático. Esto debido a que es una ciudad determinada por el Río Aburrá, quebradas y montañas. Por esta razón, los principales efectos en el territorio están relacionados a deslizamientos, avenidas torrenciales e inundaciones. Además de esto, la oferta institucional de la ciudad, así como su dependencia de otras regiones para aprovisionarse de agua, energía y alimentos, hacen que se presenten efectos directos ante los cambios en el clima en otras regiones del país. El primero está asociado a los asentamientos en laderas, debidos a los desastres naturales en otras regiones, lo cual tiene efectos directos, no solo en términos ambientales por el agotamiento y ocupación del suelo, sino también en términos de gobernabilidad. El segundo, se encuentra relacionado con una eventual falta de provisión de alimentos o déficit en el suministro de agua y energía, ante posibles inundaciones o sequías en las regiones que proveen a todo el Valle de Aburrá (especialmente Oriente, Norte y Suroeste de Antioquia). 4. Los cambios en el régimen del clima, pueden disminuir drásticamente la oferta natural de la ciudad, dentro de la cual se encuentra la flora y la fauna. El efecto más significativo es la pérdida de individuos y especies, así como la disminución de área restaurada ecológicamente o pérdida de cobertura vegetal(6.253041°, -75.564574°)(4.570868°, -74.297333°)
