Central America has been identified as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the world. Changes in rainfall and seasonal patterns threaten the production of basic grains, and pose threats to provisioning ecosystem services (services that support food, water, etc.) and biodiversity, all of which are critical for resilient food production systems. The region is already witnessing fluctuating water cycles and soil degradation associated with climate change, while extreme events such as floods continue to severely impact wetlands, marshes and an array of ecosystem services that support livelihoods.
