This policy brief evaluates public health institutional capacity for dengue response under climate change in Argentina (Tucumán) and Guatemala (Zacapa and Quiché). It finds that technical capacity alone is insufficient if responses are fragmented or lack inter-institutional coordination. The document advocates for systemic, territorially differentiated adaptation policies that integrate community networks and traditional medicine to improve resilience in Latin America.

This policy brief describes the SAT-DENCLIM project in Cuba, which developed a bioclimatic early warning system to transition dengue management from reactive surveillance to proactive prevention by integrating climate data, spatial analysis, and community action.

This policy brief describes the SAT-DENCLIM project in Cuba, which developed a bioclimatic early warning system for dengue. By integrating climate, entomological, epidemiological, and socio-environmental data from 2019-2025, the system shifts dengue management from a reactive to an anticipatory approach, utilizing spatial modeling and community participation to reduce infestation and case numbers.
