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.Cl 410 0$aWorld Bank Latin American and Caribbean studies. 606 $aClimatic changes$zLatin America 606 $aClimatic changes$zCaribbean Area 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy$zLatin America 606 $aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy$zCaribbean Area 607 $aLatin America$xClimate 607 $aCaribbean Area$xClimate 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy 615 0$aGreenhouse gas mitigation$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.738/74098 700 $aTorre$b Augusto de la$0881878 701 $aFajnzylber$b Pablo$0858188 701 $aNash$b John$f1953-$0881879 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454294103321 996 $aLow carbon, high growth$91969884 997 $aUNINA
