dc.description.abstractClimate change presents both a critical threat and a unique opportunity for progress in Latin America and the Caribbean. This book delves into this dual reality, showing that climate action is fundamentally development action, as it helps countries achieve crucial development goals in the short to medium term. Reaching net zero is feasible, brings tangible economic benefits, and hinges particularly on agriculture, forestry, and other land uses. Successful climate action will also require widespread public support, grounded in a shared perception that policies are fair and effective. This volume can serve as a resource for governments, the private sector, and citizens in their quest to navigate these perils while seizing the promise that climate action can offer.
