Guatemala

Guatemala se encuentra entre los países más vulnerables a los efectos del cambio climático en América Latina y ya está experimentando graves consecuencias, especialmente en el sector agrícola.

Chiquimula is in what is called the region’s “Dry Corridor,” and faces frequent drought. Many of its communities also were hit hard by hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020. People in the area faced significant losses and are still struggling to recover.

The “Disaster Risk Insurance and Finance in Central America Consortium” (DRIFCA) identifies and supports climate-related agricultural insurance solutions for up to 2 million smallholder farmers to increase their food security and financial resilience.
