Indicative Plan for Territorial and Environmental Planning, Panama
Panama
The Panama Canal Hydrographic Basin is facing an important challenge of adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Demand for water resources and other natural resources is increasing, and socioeconomic conditions must be improved to achieve harmonious development within a period (horizon) of 50 years. All this with the aim of improving the quality of life and socioeconomic well-being of the people of the Basin.
With this in mind, the Indicative Plan for Territorial and Environmental Planning (PIOTA) is being prepared. This is an initiative of the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and IDOM’s technical advice as the drafting team, a guiding instrument of spatial reference for the socio-environmental and sustainable management of the hydrographic basin of the Panama Canal (CHCP).
It proposes a process of adaptation, planning the territory, integrating a regional vision, the ecosystems that compose it and its protected areas. In addition, it seeks to mitigate climate change, the decarbonization of the basin, and the resilience and adaptation of all life systems and their inhabitants. The PIOTA will be underpinned with the extensive participation of all the actors.
