Enhancing Mountain Resilience through Climate Change Adaptation
Oscar Iván Galvis Mora, a Climate Change Adaptation Specialist at the Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy, focuses on implementing adaptation strategies for the energy sector. With a background in Civil Engineering and risk mitigation, he also volunteers in waste management and environmental education. Oscar's work includes developing methodologies for climate risk assessments and ecosystem-based adaptation projects, such as enhancing hydropower plant resilience and managing water resources in oil and gas exploration.

Coordinator of the US in-Country Program in Colombia of the NAP Global Network: Coordinator of all activities and strategies developed by the NAP Global Network in Colombia, related to the formulation and implementation of Integral Climate Change Management Plans.
Other interests (volunteer work, hobbies etc.) VOLUNTEER WORK: Solid Waste Management: Active member of young communities that look for an innovative strategies to manage solid wastes on Bogot -Colombia Capacity building on local schools: Speaker on a series of conferences in local schools, where the main topic are the activities the children can make on their homes to help the environment. HOBBIES: As a transportation mode When I have time Just like a fan
Presentation of a project you are working on 1/3 Development of a Climate Risk Assessment Methodology Very High High Moderate Low Climate Risk Assessment for the three sectors: Power, Oil & Gas, Mining Very Low Hydropower plants Thermal plants Small Eolic plants Solar plants Transmission Hydropower plants System As main result Environment Even that the sector infrastructure is vulnerable to the changing climate patterns, the indirect impacts due to the possible affectations on the surrounding environment, pointed out the necessity to improve the environment resilience in order to reduce the sector s vulnerability
Presentation of a project you are working on 2/3 ECOSYSTEM BASED ADAPTATION Dependency on Natural Reources Bioengineering: Green structures to reduce the sediment production on the hydropower plant s catchments. Measures to improve the manage the produced water within an oil and gas exploration process. Measures to improve the environment response during a drought, in order to assure the water availabiluty for the energetics generation. Sector Climate Resilience Physical and Economic Vulnerability Impacts on bioduversity TECHNOLOGY BASED ADAPTATION: Early warning System to face climate risk. It is the base of the M&E system for the mines and energy sector
Presentation of a project you are working on 3/3 Support on the formulation of the Adaptation component of the Integral Climate Change Management Plan Housing Sector Design and implementation of an Early Warning System for the Water and Sanitation sector to face climate change Water and Sanitation Sector Industry Sector Health Sector Transportation Sector Defiition of the climate change related needs Definitipn of the Problem and Solution tres Definition of Adaptation Goals (mid and long term) Definition of Adaptation Indicators Baseline Definition of Adaptation measures portfolio Measures Technical and Financial structuring
Thank for your attention! Hope to be a great colleage for this course and all your work back in home.
