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 the differences are regional and that developing countries as well as lower income populations tend to suffer the most. In this context, it is critical for Latin American countries to develop strategies for adapting to the various impacts of climate change, and for contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigation.ClWorld Bank e-Library.World Bank Latin American and Caribbean studies.Climatic changesLatin AmericaClimatic changesCaribbean AreaGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policyLatin AmericaGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policyCaribbean AreaLatin AmericaClimateCaribbean AreaClimateClimatic changesClimatic changesGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policyGreenhouse gas mitigationGovernment policy363.738/74098Torre Augusto de la126302Fajnzylber Pablo1610214Nash John1953-1610215DLCDLCBTCTAC#PBWXYDXCPCDXUBADLCBOOK9910811289103321Low carbon, high growth3937904UNINA
