Adaptation to climate change, as a social construction, brings with it a gap where com-munities do not have a sufficient level of influence in the transformation of territorial systems, in part due to the top-down perspective with which traditional territorial man-agement operates. , hindering success in the implementation of adaptation strategies to climate change. This article proposes comprehensive territorial management, as the con-ceptual mechanism through which local adaptation initiatives can be incorporated into decision-making, based on the systematic analysis of two case studies: Carahatas, Santa Clara (Cuba) and Las Americas, Yumbo (Colombia). From here it is concluded on the main elements that must be reconsidered in the traditional management model, espe-cially pointing out the main challenges that must be overcome for the implementation of community-based adaptation strategies, and their future recognition and institutional integration.
