Climate Change & Future Outlook
Climate risks in Paraguay
Paraguay: Highly endangered. #146 readiness (VERY WEAK!), #128 vulnerability. CHACO DRYING OUT! Landlocked, extreme heat, agriculture collapsing.
Climate Scenarios
Switch between IPCC SSP pathways
SSP2-4.5
Current policy trajectory – ~2.7°C warming by 2100, moderate mitigation.
Values are approximations relative to our SSP2-4.5 baseline. They illustrate directional change, not exact national projections.

Economic Impact
Base 86 → Personal 86
What to prioritize
- •Check long-term water security and avoid regions with frequent restrictions.
- •Budget for higher insurance/utilities and diversify income streams against climate shocks.
- •Prioritise shaded neighborhoods, AC-ready apartments, and early-morning routines.
Adaptation Measures
- •€3B Chaco irrigation (desperate!), soy adaptation
- •LEAVE Chaco! Asuncion hot. Dengue protection!
Climate Resilience
ND-GAIN #146/#128. VERY WEAK! Worst readiness Latin America. Landlocked = limited options.
Tips
- 💡Chaco uninhabitable (48°C!). Asuncion hot. Landlocked = no coast escape.
- 💡Soy economy collapsing = main export endangered!
Pros
- •Low cost, Paraguay/Parana rivers (still)
Cons
- •CHACO 48°C! Landlocked, ND-GAIN #146 (weakest!), soy -30%
Notes
CHACO DRYING OUT: Temperatures up to 48°C! Landlocked = no coast escape. ND-GAIN #146 = worst readiness Latin America. Soy economy collapsing (-30%). Only eastern Paraguay moderate. Mass emigration looms.
