“…Moreover, the added precipitation has been shown to increase nearly 3.5% for every 1 degree Celsius the temperature in the Pampas increases. The total damage and cost to the Argentinian economy has been $22.5 billion USD since 1980, accounting for 58 percent of all economic damages caused by natural disasters between 1966 and 2015 [6].…”

“…The adverse effects of climate change are typically thought of as causing damage to a region's environment, but the unpredictable weather in Argentina is a root for Argentina's infrastructure degradation. There is roughly 240,000 kilometers of road in addition to a similarly large network of railways [6] all of which connect to air and water infrastructure. These nation's networks provide for internal mobility and connect Argentina to its neighbours.…”

“…These nation's networks provide for internal mobility and connect Argentina to its neighbours. The complex transportation sector is critical to the nation's economic growth and development since it facilitates access to services and markets across the country [6]. Unfortunate hallmarks of Argentina's transportation infrastructure are poor construction and a limited capacity to withstand natural disasters.…”

“…Unfortunate hallmarks of Argentina's transportation infrastructure are poor construction and a limited capacity to withstand natural disasters. Climate change-induced hydrological extremes exacerbate these issues by routinely disrupting transportation and increasing expenses [6]. In addition to their economic and social consequences, these disruptions impede 45 million people's access to services, transit, and goods export.…”

When the issue of climate change is brought to the general public, it is often a global disaster. Ironically, many people are deliberately unaware of the global climate disaster due to its wide breadth. To better frame the threats of climate change, there needs to be more focus on national or local economies. This paper uses the framework of the middle-income trap to examine the effects of climate change on Argentina's agriculture industry and national infrastructure. Through analysis, it is found that the fluctuation of Argentina's high-income and middle-income status closely correlates with climate change.

Climate risk and vulnerability assessments were undertaken in the Caribbean for national ministries, with funding from the Caribbean Development Bank. The studies evaluated the impacts of climate-related natural hazards on road transport infrastructure and identified measures to strengthen resilience. Geographic information systems were used to map infrastructure assets and structural condition, and climate-related variables were then integrated to model current and future hazard scenarios. The datasets were analysed to identify hotspot areas of the road network where adaptation interventions were proposed, and to prioritise climate-resilient investments. The assessment findings helped decision makers to understand system resilience, adaptive capacity and how critical risk hotspot areas could be mitigated. Improved road infrastructure design and a more proactive approach to road and structure maintenance will help increase the resilience of the road networks by reducing vulnerability to hazards and minimising the impact of climate change.
