tion are playing a role.

Deforestation means that Amazon rainforest soils store less moisture in the rainy season, and temperature increase is contributing to this. Recurrent fires have damaged vital ecosystems. Parts of the southern Amazon, which used to be a vital carbon sink risk becoming a net source of carbon because of fires, according to Carlos Nobre, a senior researcher, Institute of Advanced Studies, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“To save the Amazon we have to tackle both global temperature increase and deforestation in the Amazon itself,” Prof. Nobre told a session of the World Climate Research Programme’s Open Science Conference in Kigali, Rwanda.

Sand and Dust Storms

The Caribbean region and South America are also vulnerable to dust storms, including incursions from the Sahara, which compound air quality problems.

Dust storms impact aviation and road transport; they reduce the performance of solar power plants and spread human pathogens, all of which negatively affect local and regional economies. The loss of soil nutrients costs agriculture more than US$ 8 billion

dollars every year in the Pan-American region, according to a new WMO Airborne Dust Bulletin. It includes a map of dust vulnerability to support decision-makers in the region.

Urgent need for Action

The Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week is intended to contribute to the first global stocktake of the Paris Agreement – a crucial step to renew worldwide ambition at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

An estimated 3,000 participants from across the region are expected to frame discussions around four key tracks, each designed to provide region-specific contributions.

It features four tracks will address challenges and solutions related to energy systems and industry; settlements, infrastructure and transport; land, ocean, food and water; as well as societies, health, livelihoods and economies, highlighting initiatives that are already underway and can be scaled up or implemented in the future.
