In order to mitigate and improve the capacity to adapt to climate change (CC) of the population and ecosystems in the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, an integrated proposal was implemented, which includes the following components: (i) integrated development management; (ii) the river basin as a planning unit; (iii) a planning process that includes family needs, livelihoods, the natural resource base, provision of ecosystem services and the effects of CC; (iv) the development of human and social capital; and (v) a public and private financing mechanism. From 2010 until the day that participatory diagnosis, training workshops, community and inter-community conservation agreements, forest restoration, productive improvement of maize, beans and coffee have been carried out, payments for environmental services protect the natural forest, zoning of areas with disaster risk, water quality monitoring and the inter-community group for territorial action (GIAT). The results confirm that the adaptation to the CC must be integral, territorial and constructed with the local population. The public-private financial mechanism guarantees opportunity and continuity in the development of actions and strengthens government action.

The watershed approach allows for more efficient planning and implementation of actions taking into account the relationship between the high and low zones of the basin, as well as identifying the interactions between the different ecosystem services offered by the territory.
