| Descripción: | Cross-border areas have a very particular context that influences the scope of rural development in Central America. On one hand, there is progressively more information on the influence of biophysical and climatic aspects on climate variability and local livelihoods; on the other, there is a constant need to adapt policies and adaptation options to the interests of decision-makers and the population, international policies, the effects of globalization and the imaginary of the territory. This generates a dynamic of constant change that implies a strong challenge for the management of the territory and its resources. This paper addresses the case study of the canton La Cruz, Guanacaste, Costa Rica as it highlights some of the main challenges of cross-border territories in Central America. Through a transdisciplinary analysis of the case study, the main challenges for rural development in this territory are identified, with emphasis on the dynamics of cross-border zones that must be considered to facilitate rural territorial development. An integrated framework is proposed to address the complexity of the territory's dynamics based on the framework of sustainable livelihoods and community capitals. Based on the consideration of this holistic and integrative framework, three strategies are proposed to facilitate adaptation to climate variability. This work demonstrates the opportunity of integrating transdisciplinary extension and research for climate risk management in rural communities. |
