BOLANOS GUERRA, Bernardo. Biopolitics of climate change for Central America. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2018, n.74, pp.135-158. ISSN 2007-2392. https://doi.org/10.22134/trace.74.2018.111.
We consider four biopolitical devices related to Central America and climate change: climatological models; indexes of environmental vulnerability; criteria for the allocation of green microcredits, designed to engage climate change, and, finally, the Temporary Protected Status program in the United States, aimed at the temporary regularization of migrants from countries affected by natural disasters. Together, these devices make up a biopolitics of climate change for Central America. The Paris Agreement of 2015 does not obligate developed countries, which produce most of the greenhouse gases, to compensate poor countries; it is thus possible that the latter’s insistence on an increase in the assistance for climate change adaptation will reduce other kinds of official development aid.
