Abstract

Los efectos e impactos del cambio climático tienen un alcance mundial y una escala sin precedentes y la creciente frecuencia y severidad de los eventos extremos, desde el aumento de las temperaturas, las sequías, las precipitaciones extremas y el aumento del nivel del mar, han aumentado en toda América del Norte. Sin una acción inmediata, la adaptación al cambio climático será más difícil y costosa, particularmente para los grupos sociales y las actividades económicas y los ecosistemas más vulnerables de la zona. En este artículo reflexionamos sobre la evidencia recientemente producida por el Grupo de trabajo 2 del IPCC - el Panel Intergubernamental para el Cambio Climático de la ONU - en relación con la región de América del Norte (Canadá, EE. UU., México). Se emplean para el estudio, los métodos de evaluación de la información utilizada para el reporte sobre Impactos, adaptación y Vulnerabilidad y se analizan riesgos, impactos y medidas de adaptación, buscando resaltar su dimensión económica y financiera para la región de América del Norte. Es necesario en futuro, profundizar sobre los impactos del cambio climático a nivel subnacional en la región de América del Norte y en particular en México.
