Add to Preferred SourcesSimilar to what is seen in other parts of the world, there are clear signs of the impacts of climate change to Latin American countries. The region, where a substantial portion of the world’s biological diversity can be found, hosts a wide range of ecosystems including rainforests (especially, but not only in the Amazon region) and semi-arid zones.
The disruption of natural ecosystems is one of the main causes of biodiversity and ecosystem losses in Latin America, a proportion of which is due to human-induced climate change.
It is against this background that the “3rd Latin American Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation” is being organized.
The Symposium will be a truly interdisciplinary event, mobilizing scholars, practitioners and members of governmental agencies, undertaking research and/or executing climate change projects in Latin America.
The “3rd Latin American Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation” will focus on “Strengthening the Adaptation Capacity of Latin American Countries”, meaning that it will serve the purpose of showcasing experiences from research, field projects and best practice to foster climate change adaptation among countries in the region, which may be useful or implemented elsewhere. The event will pay special emphasis to the need to foster climate change resilience, a key area in Latin America.
