Apoyo técnico en el análisis geoespacial de riesgos climáticos para el sector minero energético en la Oficina de Asuntos Ambientales y Sociales-Ministerio de Minas y Energía

Abstract

The mining-energy sector has taken a pioneering role in climate change management at national and international scales, for being the first sector to adopt by resolution its Comprehensive Climate Change Management Plan for the mining-energy sector (PIGCCme), this comprehensive plan for management has an adaptation component, the objective of which is to incorporate climate risk management at the decision levels of the mining-energy sector, in order to reduce the impacts generated by climate variability and climate change on the mining industry, hydrocarbons and electric. During the last few years, technical-scientific entities such as IDEAM or the SGC have promoted and strengthened their analysis of information hand in hand with their sector heads, such as the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Mines, respectively. This has included the inclusion of maps at more detailed scales and analysis methodologies that address issues of interest such as natural geological and hydrometeorological threats. Likewise, there are initiatives such as the comprehensive climate change plan and the sector's DRM policy that take these approaches as inputs in order to support decision-making. Based on the analysis of the methodology carried out by the INERCO consultancy and the National University complemented by the adaptation component of the PIGCCme, a diagnosis is made in reference to the virtual susceptibility and prospective threat maps carried out in 2017, with the purpose of this diagnose and update geographic information, to support the calculation of vulnerability of the system within climate change scenarios. This project is based on analyzing the existing information by the affiliated entities on updated information on threats of natural origin and their exposure in the mining-energy sector, for which the generation of geographic inputs is the main object to address this type of analysis. which in turn serve in Risk and Disaster Management by the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
