The "Guardianas del Cambio" project, implemented by CARE Perú and Humanity & Inclusion with USAID funding, aims to reduce the vulnerability of girls, adolescents, and women in Amazonas and Loreto to climate change-induced natural risks. The project focuses on enhancing their adaptive capacities and fostering their participation in creating sustainable local solutions. A baseline study was conducted, involving 1,031 students and 50 adults through surveys. Key findings include that 19% of students adopted climate adaptation measures, 2.7% participated in climate-related decision-making spaces, and over 50% engaged in civic activities. Additionally, 58.91% of students agreed with principles of gender equality, and 21.01% of female students reported strengthened competencies in equity, respect, and social participation. The study also identified two nature-based solutions implemented at the municipal level with an intersectional approach. Data collection emphasized representativeness, confidentiality, and comprehensive analysis using indices to assess project indicators.
