Abstract

The effects caused by climate change constitute a concern of the Cuban State, where the ability of communities to adapt to the impacts that thisgenerates is an aspect of great interest. The purpose of this research is to propose an action plan aimed at the implementation and control of the State Plan "Tarea Vida" in the search for adaptation and mitigation of the effects of change in vulnerable areas of the Camajuaní municipality, based on encouraging the joint participation of the communities involved, the local government and companies and institutions. For this, theoretical and empirical methods were used, such as analysis and synthesis, inductive-deductive, documentary analysis, group work, ecomap and direct observation. As main results, the diagnosis of the current situation of hazards, vulnerabilities and risks was obtained, by communities of the municipality, which served as the basis for the design of an action plan in the short, medium, long and very long terms, focused on counteract their impacts in prioritized areas given their danger and vulnerability scenarios. The foregoing serves as an essential reference for the design and implementation of local policies and strategies, for the mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
