Abstract: To tackle the impacts of the multiple crises they are experiencing, including the climate crisis, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have an urgent need to strengthen regional cooperation. The region’s high vulnerability, combined with its multiple inequalities, is exacerbating the impacts of phenomena such as rising temperatures, variable rainfall, melting glaciers, and the increased frequency of extreme weather events. Mass population displacements, food insecurity, environmental degradation caused by land system changes, scarcity of water and electricity, and climate change-linked loss of life and livelihoods, are some of the impacts facing entire communities in the region. These impacts will be accelerated without a fundamental change of direction (World Meteorological Organization, 2022).
