Colombia
The climate in Colombia is typically tropical and characterized by a humid climate with large differences in average rainfall between the four climatic regions. Therefore, there is no overall trend in rainfall patterns. It decreases in some regions and increases in others. In the high-Andean strip global warming is causing an accelerated loss of glacial area. Sea level rise puts many inhabitants at risk of marine floods and affects areas of tourist interest. Other impacts of the changing climate are the extension of malaria and dengue, as well as a reduction of agricultural land. Droughts caused by changes in rainfall patterns are increasing the pressure on the agricultural sector.
