- Abstract
- Around 2.5 million people in Central America are suffering from food insecurity due to the drought that has affected the region since July 2014. With climate change, such extreme weather effects are expected to increase in frequency and severity. However, climate change still occupies a marginal place in political agendas, with few exceptions. The topic only gains importance when extreme events result in large-scale disasters, before important international conferences, or when climate change is used to justify deficiencies or irresponsibility of policy decisions.
