Climate change impact on the GDP in Latin America & Caribbean, by temperature target
Under a Paris Agreement warming scenario – which means limitting the temperature rise to less than ***ºC above pre-industrial levels – Latin America and the Caribbean would experience a loss of roughly **** percent of the region's per capita GDP. This figure increases under more extreme warming scenarios, reaching a loss of ** percent of the region's GDP if temperatures go up to ***ºC above pre-industrial levels.
