The issue of climate change in the Republic of Panama has been analyzed from
different angles and the governing entity on the subject has convened working groups to
prepare the National Strategy for Climate Change 2050, the National Strategy for the
Environment and the National Plan for Climate Action (PNAC). These documents establish
the implementation, follow-up and evaluation of the sectoral lines of action.It should be
noted, the country during the years 2019 and 2021 evaluated the progress of the national
climate change strategy and its results are compiled in the Biennial Climate Transparency
Report. Based on the mentioned documents, this article has been framed in one of the most
common climatic threats “floods with generalized affectation” and its impact in the
Tonosí District, Los Santos Province on November 2022; which caused affections to
human health, agriculture and infrastructures. The district is classified as a risk area (very high); therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness among the population, advance in the execution of the PNAC commitments, evaluating the
tasks carried out by the entities involved and publish a monthly report with their results on
the Mi Ambiente website.
