If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07LAPAZ695.

SUBJECT: BOLIVIA'S CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN: MITIGATE AND 
ADAPT 
 
REF: LA PAZ 661 
 
------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1. (U) Bolivian efforts to address the potential impact of 
climate change (reftel) include both mitigation and 
adaptation strategies.  While much of the country's five-year 
action plan has yet to be implemented, GOB officials accept 
evidence of climate change and appear committed to taking 
initial steps to prepare for a range of consequences.  End 
summary. 
 
---------- 
BACKGROUND 
---------- 
 
2. (U) Bolivia created its National Climate Change Program in 
1995, with support from international and domestic experts. 
Its coordinator, Oscar Paz, has directed the program since 
its initiation, today overseeing an organization whose 25 
Bolivian staff are charged not only with meeting Bolivia's 
commitments under the UN Framework Convention on Climate 
Change, but also with devising a long-term national climate 
change strategy. 
 
----------------------------------- 
THE ACTION PLAN: MITIGATE AND ADAPT 
----------------------------------- 
 
3. (U) Bolivian efforts to address the potential impact of 
climate change (reftel) include both mitigation and 
adaptation strategies.  According to Paz, who spoke to 
Econoff February 28, both are key components of a 
comprehensive five-year action plan that seeks to reduce 
Bolivia's vulnerability to the consequences of climate 
change.  The GOB seeks not only to mitigate the impact of 
climate change by encouraging reductions in greenhouse gas 
emissions and placing increased emphasis on alternative 
energy sources, but also to adapt to the effects of climate 
change by encouraging behavioral and lifestyle modifications. 
 
4. (U) Paz noted that vulnerability to climate change will 
vary by community, with populations' ability to cope shifting 
with geographic location, environmental conditions, 
population density, poverty levels, income distribution, food 
production capabilities, and access to health care.  Some 
communities, Paz argued, will be more susceptible than others 
to the most immediate effects of climate change: more 
frequent droughts, harsher rainy seasons, and increasingly 
scarce and uncertain water supplies, which will affect 
populations' economic livelihoods and food supplies.  Paz 
hopes to help communities adapt to already evident seasonal 
change by altering planting and harvesting timetables, not 
only on the altiplano of the west, but also in the lowlands 
of the east, where increasingly unpredictable weather, higher 
than normal temperatures, and new diseases have begun to 
affect crop yields. 
 
5. (U) While much of Bolivia's action plan has yet to be 
implemented, GOB officials accept scientific and anecdotal 
evidence of climate change and appear committed to taking 
initial steps to prepare for a range of consequences. 
According to Paz, officials recognize that climate change 
poses a significant threat to long-term economic growth and 
 
understand that they cannot make development plans without 
considering the potential impact of climate change.  GOB 
officials may push for projects with more immediate, bigger 
results, Paz said, but most are generally receptive to policy 
recommendations; most, for example, support the pursuit of a 
variety of mitigation projects and advocate the preparation 
of a more detailed national adaptation plan. 
 
------- 
COMMENT 
------- 
 
6. (SBU) Mitigation and adaptation ostensibly carry equal 
weight in Bolivia's action plan, but Paz and his counterparts 
appear more concerned with adaptation; their preference may 
indicate a belief that climate change is an externality 
largely beyond Bolivia's control.  Paz and his staff seem to 
have made a good start, but persistent shortages of financial 
and technical resources may hamper their efforts.  End 
comment.
