| Resumen: |
This report focuses on poor and near-poor individuals and asks what can be done to strengthen their resilience to climate risks. By combining new data, case studies, and original research, it offers a detailed look at who is most at risk, how climate hazards interact with poverty, and what policies can best protect vulnerable populations in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It highlights four critical questions for governments of the region. Are poor people more exposed to climate hazards? What risks do these hazards pose to households and societies? What adaptation measures are already in place, and how effective are they? Finally, how can adaptation efforts be improved and accelerated to ensure that poverty reduction continues despite a changing climate? |
