There is an increasing consensus in the scientific community that
climate change is a real and present threat. Despite the large
uncertainty on the timing, magnitude and even the direction of some
of the physical and economic effects of this phenomenon, it is
widely accepted that these effects will be regionally
differentiated and that developing countries and lower income
populations will tend to suffer the most. In this context, it is
critical that Latin American and Caribbean countries develop their
own strategies for adapting to the various impacts of climate
change and for contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigation.
'Low Carbon, High Growth' contributes to these efforts by
addressing a number of questions related to the causes and
consequences of climate change in Latin America. What are the
likely impacts of climate change in the region? Which countries and
regions will be most affected? What can governments do to tackle
the challenges associated with adapting to climate change? What
role can Latin America and the Caribbean play in the area of
climate change mitigation? How can the international community best
help the region respond? While the study does not attempt to
provide definitive answers to these questions, its goal is to
contribute new information and analysis to help inform the public
policy debate on this important issue.
