Perception and adaptation to climate change in vulnerable regions by A. Jiménez Bedoya, F. Fuentes Gandara, R. Paternina Uribe, J. Pinedo Hernández

“…Colombia ranks third in Latin America for scientific production on climate change perception and adaptation policies, with political context and international compliance key factors.CONCLUSION: The study highlights how climate change affects psychological well-being through social and economic insecurity, exacerbated by the local government's lack of intervention to mitigate the vulnerability of focal groups and strengthen their adaptation and resilience capacities against climate change. It also underscores Colombia's significant role in regional scientific production on climate change perception, emphasizing the urgent need for more research to delve into these issues and enhance adaptation strategies in the region.…”
