Climate Change in Central America: Potential Impacts and Public Policy Options

This analytical document is based on analysis between 2008 and 2015 within the framework of “The Economics of Climate Change in Central America Initiative”, which aimed at demonstrating the impacts of climate variability and change and fostering a discussion on public policies in key sectors. These policy discussions have generated a proposal to give priority to adaptation that explicitly favours sustainability and inclusion, and integrated with programmes to reduce poverty and vulnerability.
