RESUMO
This article is presented as an exercise to reflect on the current Peruvian situation in terms of access to safe water and its consequences on health. Additionally, it aims at pondering on the challenges that the country must face in order to achieve water security. It also proposes some guidelines to direct us toward water security in Peru. This article is not intended to be a source of reference of statistical data on the availability and access to water resources in Peru.
El presente artículo es un ejercicio para reflexionar sobre la situación actual del Perú en lo que se refiere al acceso a agua segura y sus consecuencias en la salud y sobre los desafíos que deberá atravesar el país para alcanzar la seguridad hídrica. Propone además algunos lineamientos para dirigirnos hacia la seguridad hídrica en el Perú. El artículo no pretende ser una fuente de referencia de datos estadísticos sobre la disponibilidad y acceso a los recursos hídricos en el Perú.

This article compiles the conclusions and results of several studies conducted by global and intergovernmental organizations involved in the research and promotion of policies and strategies for a successful and efficient management of the negative effects of climate change in public health. It is also a call for awareness the health community regarding their protagonist and strategic role to be assumed in relation to this global phenomenon which requires the coordinated cross-sectoral and inter-institution collaboration to achieve true social and environmental resilience.

Spatial genetic studies often require sampling broadly separated areas, difficult to access simultaneously. Although comparing localities surveyed at different time periods might result in spurious genetic differentiation, there is a general believe on the stability of genetic structure through time, particularly if sampled localities are isolated or very distant. By analysing spatial and temporal genetic differentiation of the portunid crab Liocarcinus depurator we assessed the contribution of historical and contemporary processes on population connectivity patterns across three main oceanographic discontinuities along the Atlantic-Mediterranean transition: Gibraltar Strait, Almeria-Oran Front and Ibiza Channel. A partial fragment of the cytochrome oxidase I gene was sequenced in 366 individuals collected from localities at both sides of each discontinuity during three time periods. Although localities showed genetic fluctuations through time, a significant gradient was detected along the coast for all sampling periods. Significant inter-annual differences identified within the Alicante area, north of the Almeria-Oran Front, were associated with shifts in the relative contribution of Atlantic and Mediterranean water masses. The persistence of a clinal pattern in the Atlantic-Mediterranean transition area together with local fluctuations suggests a complex balance of dispersal and selection.

El presente artículo reúne los resultados y conclusiones obtenidos de diversos estudios llevados a cabo por organizaciones mundiales e intergubernamentales dedicadas a la investigación y a la promoción de políticas y estrategias para lograr respuestas acertadas y eficientes ante los efectos negativos del cambio climático en la salud pública. Es, por otro lado, un llamado a la concientización de la comunidad sanitaria del rol protagonista y estratégico que debe asumir con relación a este fenómeno global y de la transversalidad en su adecuada gestión, que requiere del trabajo coordinado a nivel transectorial e interinstitucional para lograr una verdadera resiliencia social y ambiental...
