Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events in Latin America: An Exposure Index

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

Using natural disasters data, I develop an innovative Disaster Exposure Index (DEI) that encompasses many disasters’ impacts. DEI calculations indicate an unexpected scenario where some regions usually considered resilient are found to be exposed. The results call for further development of regional indicators to facilitate the international, national and sub- national allocation of adaptation funds.
