This report, Building Response
Strategies to Climate Change in Agricultural Systems in
Latin America, reports the results of action research to
identify and prioritize stakeholder driven, locally relevant
response options to climate change in Latin American
agriculture. The study has three primary objectives. The
first is to develop and apply a pilot methodology for
assessing agricultural vulnerability to climate change and
for formulating adaptation response strategies to inform
private and public sector decisions in the Latin America
region. The study is principally concerned with adaptation
responses to climate change, rather than mitigation. The
second objective is to formulate recommendations for
investments in each of the selected agro-ecosystems in a
range of areas including agricultural technology adaptation,
infrastructure investments, public and private sector
support activities, and institutional and policy changes.
The final objective is to disseminate the study results in
the Latin America region and other parts of the world to
help increase understanding of the impacts of climate change
and alternative adaptation response strategies. This
methodology can be used by the Bank to support client
countries in defining response strategies, designing related
investment projects, and formulating policy changes.
