Implementing a climate change and sustainable development agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean

Latin America and the Caribbean are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. By 2050, rising sea levels, temperatures increases, changes in rainfall patterns will result in an estimated annual cost of around 2-4 percent of the region’s GDP.
