Climate change threatens millions in low and coastal areas in Latin America, study finds
A Guna Indigenous man prepares his boat on the island of Carti Sugdupu, in the Indigenous Guna Yala Comarca, Panama, in the Caribbean Sea, on August 30, 2023. On a tiny island in the Caribbean, hundreds of people are preparing to pack up and move to escape the rising waters that threaten to engulf their homes in coming decades.

Some homes have already been abandoned due to rising waters, as experts predict the archipelago will disappear by the end of the century due to the impact of climate change.
