Shock-responsive social protection and climate shocks in Latin America and the Caribbean: Lessons from COVID-19

Submitted by pmassetti on

iadb.org (Feb 2023) Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is one of the regions most exposed and vulnerable to climate-related risks, with large shocks occurring regularly.
