dc.description.abstractThe epidemiological profile of Latin America (LA) is marked by diseases of poverty and underdevelopment. Climate change is also reinforcing the intensity and frequency of climate variability, with more intense events, associated with either pole of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The chapter reviews increases in diseases and disease vectors due to climate stress and poverty, as well as some health protection measures that are beginning to be organized in Latin American countries. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is committed to supporting countries in the development of adaptation plans that promote health protection strategies.en
