The Central American Dry Corridor, which includes Guatemala, is facing the devastating effects of climate change, including droughts and extreme weather. This has led to widespread hunger, malnutrition, and a decline in children's health. The World Health Organization has reported that children in Guatemala are too short for their age, highlighting the dire consequences of the crisis. The United Nations considers the region highly climate-vulnerable, and families are struggling to cope with the worsening conditions. The situation in Guatemala serves as a cautionary tale, demonstrating the link between climate change, migration, and the potential collapse of civilization.
