Climate adaptation and vulnerability in Mexico
A one-size-fits-all approach to climate change won’t work in Mexico, where climate adaptation is highly unequal. Currently, private responses such as air conditioning, migration, and financial adjustment play a central role. These mechanisms are often more accessible to higher-income households while exacerbating inequality and shifting climate risks onto poorer, informal, and rural populations, as well as overburdening health, labour, and financial systems.
