In recent years, we have witnessed significant changes in mountain ecosystems and glaciers. The accelerated retreat of glaciers and the increased number of lagoons are indicators of this process, and even if it means there is a major water reserve, there are risks of disasters that may affect nearby populations with weak adaptive capacity.

Peru, which has great ecological wealth, is considered one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, aggravated by persistent socioeconomic gaps and conflicts arising from the management of natural resources. Indeed, the National Water Authority of Peru reported the loss of more than 40% of its glaciers, which represents a threat to water, food, energy and ecological security.
