Climate change-related risks and adaptation potential in Central and South America during the 21st century
Open AccessIsabel Hagen, Fredy S Monge-Rodríguez et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022
Climate-related risks in Central and South America have received increased attention and concern in science and policy, but an up-to-date comprehensive review and synthesis of risks and adaptation potential is currently missing. For this paper we evaluated over 200 peer-reviewed articles and grey literature documents published since 2012. We found that climate change in Central and South America during the 21st century may increase the risk to se…
A Participatory Science Approach to Evaluating Factors Associated with the Occurrence of Metals and PFAS in Guatemala City Tap Water
Open AccessJennifer Hoponick Redmon, Riley Mulhern et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022
Limited information is available regarding chemical water quality at the tap in Guatemala City, preventing individuals, water utilities, and public health authorities from making data-driven decisions related to water quality. To address this need, 113 participants among households served by a range of water providers across the Guatemala City metropolitan area were recruited as participatory scientists to collect first-draw and flushed tap water…
Food, energy, and water nexus research in Guatemala – A systematic literature review
Open AccessAndrew J Kondash, Isabel Herrera et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Cited by: 1References: 4
The interconnectedness of food, energy, and water systems – commonly referred as the FEW nexus - calls for the integrated study of these systems to improve resiliency of these natural resources and adapt to our changing world. In this article, we explore the state of FEW nexus research in Guatemala to highlight progress while also pointing out future research needs. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify peer-reviewed articles a…

On the Production of Climate Information in the High Mountain Forests of Guatemala
Diego Pons, Matthew J Taylor et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2017References: 44
Guatemala's population is dependent on cash crops and subsistence agriculture, the yield of which depends on both the timing and quantity of rainfall. Detailed knowledge about Guatemala's past, current, and future climate is therefore critical to the well-being of a country so reliant on agriculture. Relatively little information about Guatemala's climate exists, though, due to sparse instrumental records and limited high-resolution paleoclimate …
International migration, land use change and the environment in Ixcán, Guatemala

Agriculture, Land Tenure and International Migration in RuralGuatemala
Open AccessMariel Aguilar-Støen, Mariel Aguilar‐støen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Agrarian Change2016Cited by: 11References: 36
In this paper, we ask what the effects of migration and remittances are on land tenure, agriculture and forests, based on empirical evidence from four rural communities inGuatemala. Our results suggest that remittances improve migrant families' access to agricultural land which - depending on the context - fosters more equitable local land distribution patterns or land concentration by migrant families. Changes in the political economy of the cou…
Adaptation in a multi-stressor environment: Perceptions and responses to climatic and economic risks by coffee growers in Mesoamerica

Este trabajo analiza los retos y oportunidades que conlleva el diseño, implementación y difusión de un proyecto interdisciplinario que evolucionó en un esfuerzo de coproducción de conocimiento. El proyecto exploró las estrategias de subsistencia de los productores de café en México, Guatemala, Honduras y Costa Rica que se enfrentan a múltiples factores de estrés económico (perturbaciones del mercado y volatilidad de los precios) y físico (variabi…
Annual chronology and climate response in Abies guatemalensis Rehder (Pinaceae) in Central America
Open AccessKevin J Anchukaitis, Matthew J Taylor et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Cited by: 1References: 4
The continued expansion of dendroclimatology into Mesoamerica requires the identification and evaluation of species whose rings can be precisely dated and then statistically compared with precipitation and temperature variability in order to make inferences about past climate. Here, we establish the basis for using Abies guatemalensis Rehder (Pinaceae) for climate reconstruction in Central America. Annual crossdating in this montane species is de…

Responding to the coffee crisis: A pilot study of farmers' adaptations in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras
Open AccessHallie Eakin, C M Tucker et al.ARTICLEGeographical Journal2006Cited by: 51References: 23
This article explores the impacts of market shocks and institutional change on smallholder livelihoods, and the challenge of adaptation in Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. The rapid decline in coffee prices since the dissolution of the International Coffee Agreement in 1989 has had widespread and profound impacts across coffee-producing regions. The data collected in the three case studies of this project confirm the severity of the impact, partic…
Market Shocks and Climate Variability: The Coffee Crisis in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras
Open AccessHallie Eakin, C M Tucker et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2005
As a result of a dramatic decline in world coffee prices and the restructuring of both domestic and international institutions, coffee farmers have been facing one of the most difficult periods in sector history. In 2003, a comparative case study project (supported by the Small Grant Program of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research) in Guatemala, Mexico and Honduras explored the experiences and responses of coffee farmers to ins…
