Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study analyzes the economic costs associated with climate change and the implementation of preventive measures in the Chancay-Lambayeque Valley, Peru. Through a cost-benefit analysis, the study quantifies the impact of extreme flood events on agriculture and hydraulic infrastructure, considering scenarios with and without mitigation measures. The results show that adopting structural and non-structural strategies significantly reduces economic losses and enhances the resilience of the region's water and productive systems. The findings emphasize that strengthening investments in resilient infrastructure and adaptation strategies is crucial for the economic and environmental sustainability of the watershed.
