A unique gathering of climate, development and
environmental experts took place from September
25-28, 2017 in San José and Guanacaste Province,
Costa Rica. The subject of their deliberations was
the Central American Dry Corridor (CADC)1,
which extends along the Pacific littoral from
western Guatemala through northern Costa Rica2.
This trans-frontier territory includes a population
approaching 11 million, roughly a quarter of
Central America’s total population. The CADC is a
mainly rural area characterized by a marked
precipitation seasonality, climate change
vulnerability, rich biodiversity, entrenched poverty,
food insecurity and outmigration. |
