(2024) Carolina Machado; Santiago Bonilla‐Bedoya
INTRODUCTION. Climate change poses one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century, impacting all sectors of society. OBJECTIVE. To characterize Ecuador's political, normative, and regulatory framework for climate change adaptation in accordance with international standards. METHOD. A review of relevant secondary and documentary sources was conducted at international, regional, and national levels. This process involved examining secondary literature, identifying current regulatory frameworks, and synthesizing the theoretical framework across these levels. RESULTS. Ecuador has ratified the Paris Agreement and adopted the 2030 Agenda, integrating climate adaptation into national policies such as the National Climate Change Strategy (ENCC) and the National Adaptation Plan (PNA). Challenges include limited financial resources, accurate climate information, and inter-institutional coordination. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The review underscores the necessity of embedding adaptation measures into national policies to enhance the country's resilience, ensuring alignment with international commitments. Normative coherence from local to global scales is crucial for effective climate change adaptation.
