Global Adaptation Institute A Resource for Panamá
The Ambassador of Panamá to the United States, Mario E. Jaramillo, noted the importance of the Global Adaptation Institute as a resource in providing information to help his country prepare for natural disasters. These statements were made during a signing ceremony with the World Bank to develop a National Policy for Integrated Disaster Risk.
The Institute has consulted several groups of Ambassadors on how the Global Adaptation Index™ (“GaIn™”) can help their countries better prepare for the challenges of climate change, population growth and other global forces. GaIn shows that Panamá is vulnerable to many global forces but is taking steps to improve its readiness to confront these challenges.
