Climate Governance in Latin America
摘要
This chapter takes a transdisciplinary approach to analyse climate governance in Latin America, drawing on political science, gender studies and environmental foresight. It examines institutional frameworks, gender integration and projections of the El Niño/La Niña phenomenon up to 2026. This contributes to debates on inclusion and resilience in contexts of global crisis. The chapter examines how organisations such as the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and the International Union for Conservation of Nature incorporate gender perspectives into climate policies and highlights the progress being made in national plans to empower women as agents of adaptation. Using models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and regional data, the chapter provides foresight on El Niño/La Niña, projecting intensified impacts on water and agricultural vulnerabilities that will exacerbate migration and intersectional precarity. The chapter addresses institutional gaps and opportunities for inclusive governance that integrate decolonial epistemologies. It proposes analytical frameworks that link theory and practice, emphasising the role of women in decision-making processes to mitigate inequalities and advocating for interdisciplinary collaborations that foster equitable policies. This positions the region as a laboratory for climate justice in the Anthropocene.
