Population distribution within the Tropical Andes countries

Description

All countries in the region have high levels of urbanization and population growth. These trends will significantly increase and concentrate the demand for services and resources, which are already often threatened by climate change, such as water resources and agricultural goods (Buytaert and De Bièvre, 2012). Demographic trends and social challenges must be considered in combination with climate change to develop successful adaptation policies across all policy sectors.
