As a country which contains significant concentrations of population in fragile mountain eco- systems, expanding arid zones, various regions which are subject to periodic flooding, increasing deforestation and environmental degradation and high levels of poverty, Bolivia is particularly vulnerable to climate change. Its damaging impact can be seen in a range of phenomena such as increasingly severe and frequent flooding and landslides and the accelerated melting of tropical glaciers. Climate change scenarios predict impacts in Bolivia that include longer dry seasons and more frequent storms, as well as the exposure of vulnerable populations to new or intensified health threats, particularly.
