EL AQUÍ Y AHORA DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO

This briefing examines how climate change is currently altering seasonality in the Americas, leading to increased soil erosion in Cuba, year-round dengue risks in tropical regions, and challenges for hydroelectric dam management in Argentina due to changing snowmelt and precipitation patterns.

• Global climate change is currently manifested as a 0.7°C increase in average global temperature, but this single value often masks the tangible, local shifts in seasonality that people experience, such as earlier springs, delayed ski seasons, and changes in flowering times.
• In the Cuyaguateje mountain basin in Cuba, a 16% increase in average annual rainfall between the 1960s (1560 mm) and the period after the 1980s (1810 mm) has led to a 50% increase in the erosion rate. This is driven by more intense rains at the start of the wet season (May to October), which degrades agricultural production and reduces reservoir capacity through sedimentation.
