ONLINE EVENT: Findings of Task Force on Climate Adaptation in the Northern Triangle

As the impacts of climate change mount worldwide, the countries of Central America’s Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) face disproportionate exposure to catastrophic storms and other threats such as drought and food insecurity. This vulnerability is contributing to a growing humanitarian crisis in a region already wracked by poverty, inequality, corruption, and violence and is exacerbating these drivers of migration within and from the region, including to the United States. In response to this challenging context, the Inter-American Dialogue convened a Task Force on Climate Change in the Northern Triangle, representing a diverse set of perspectives, to inform a series of policy reports. These publications outline the effects of climate change on key sectors and vulnerable communities and provide recommendations for US assistance to support sustainable, locally led climate adaptation in the region.
