Special Report : The broken dishes that LatAm pays for climate change
Extreme weather changes are manifesting themselves in Latin America with fires in the Amazon, the incidence of tropical cyclones and associated barriers to food access.
The region is facing its own theory of climate chaos, for while the world's largest economies continue to miss their environmental targets, the pace of this 'locomotive' is unleashing large and often unpredictable global impacts on vulnerable regions, which in turn face local inaction that increases the risks.
Although Latin America is responsible for only 8% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, its ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The region faces a dilemma, because while the agricultural sector accounts for 47% of emissions, above the global average, it is at the same time one of the industries that could suffer the greatest consequences from the impact of climate change.
Mitigating factors such as food insecurity, poverty and lack of access to decent housing place Latin America in a more complicated situation in the face of the effects that climate change may have.
