National and Local Vulnerability to Climate-Related Disasters in Latin America: The Role of Social Asset-Based Adaptation
| La región de América Latina es particularmente propenso a los desastres naturales relacionados con el clima. Sin embargo, este artículo sostiene que los peligros naturales son sólo parte de la culpa por la vulnerabilidad de la región a los desastres naturales con evidencia cuantitativa sugiere en cambio que el ingreso per cápita y la desigualdad son los principales determinantes de la mortalidad de los desastres naturales en América Latina. A nivel local, la región de pobres son particularmente susceptibles a los peligros naturales relacionados con el clima. Como consecuencia de su limitado acceso al capital, la adaptación basada en los activos sociales constituye una estrategia eficaz de respuesta. Los datos de Bolivia y Belice ilustra la importancia de los activos sociales en la protección de los más vulnerables frente a los desastres naturales. | |
