Under a Paris Agreement warming scenario – which means limitting the temperature rise to less than 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels – Latin America and the Caribbean would experience a loss of roughly four percent of the region's per capita GDP. This figure increases under more extreme warming scenarios, reaching a loss of 16 percent of the region's GDP if temperatures go up to 3.2ºC above pre-industrial levels.
