Sumario: The University of Manizales, through theCenter for Research on Environment andDevelopment (CIMAD) and the Masters inSustainable Development and Environment, develops and implements the research project“State and prospects of possibilities for adaptationand mitigation of the impact of climatechange in different regions of the country”. Thisproject proposes, among others, to explore theconditions mitigating the impacts of changethat may be present on vulnerable populationsand their willingness to prevention, and also todescribe the risk mitigation actions developedat the state and private sectors.In this article we present the mitigation conditionson the Colombian Atlantic Coast, and the publicand private actions that are being developed toachieve this goal, understanding mitigation ashuman intervention to reduce climate impacts onthe affected population by climatic events throughsource reduction strategies and emissions ofGreenhouse Gases (GHG) and promotion of sinks(forest conservation and restoration).
