Climate crisis, extractivism, and security in Mesoamerica
Since Latin America is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change, Mesoamerican countries have experienced an increase in extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and tropical storms, for decades. However, the relationship between climate change and environmental destruction, on the one hand, and violence and insecurity, on the other, has not been sufficiently analysed—neither for the Latin American region as a whole nor, even less so, in the context of Mesoamerican countries. This document is an effort to contribute to these analyses.
