The private sector has a significant role to play in curbing climate change.
The Pampas in Argentina and Chaco in Paraguay constitute one of South America's most important global grain suppliers.
Climate change poses a significant threat to agrarian societies in tropical regions. In Punjab, which produces more than half of India's annual food grain production, there is rising uncertainty in the timing of the rainy season.

The Eastern Mediterranean is highly vulnerable to saltwater intrusion into the freshwater aquifers along its coasts. The degradation of these aquifers would result in serious socioeconomic consequence to people living there.
Climate change is already apparent in Kenya, and projections suggest that it will increase. Many of the agricultural research results that have been successfully developed and adopted by farmers have not taken climate variability into account.
Pakistan's devastating 2010 Indus basin floods left approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's land area underwater and directly affected about 20 million people.
The Araucania region is a vast territory in southern Chile traditionally inhabited by indigenous Mapuche communities.
The cattle corridor covers approximately 40% of Uganda's land surface, and is one of the country's most fragile ecosystems. It is particularly vulnerable to climate change.
