Climate change’s pulse lies in Central America

Nations that border the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are ideally placed for tracking the effects of global climate change and testing innovative ways to adapt to future changes.

Identified by some as a “hot spot” for its sensitivity to global climate change, the region is uniquely positioned to serve as the world’s climate change pulse. Events that play out there will be not only a warning signal of broader climate change to come but also a harbinger of social and economic responses to these changes.
