Risk management
Mesoamerican Research Group on Climate Change (GIMCC) made up of universities from nine countries, which work in a coordinated manner to increase capacities in risk management and contribute to reducing vulnerability in the region, based on applied research.
The Mesoamerican region is one of the areas of the planet with the highest incidence of earthquakes and hurricanes as well as droughts and floods, the latter exacerbated as a result of climate change. The projects developed are aimed at risk assessment and management from the contribution of technology and the development of capacities.
