Resumen
FLORES CAMPANA, Luis Miguel; ARZOLA-GONZALEZ, Juan Francisco; RAMIREZ-SOTO, Milagros y OSORIO-PEREZ, Amador. Global Climate Change Impacts in the Sinaloa State, México. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2012, vol.21, n.1, pp.115-129. ISSN 0121-215X.
The variation of environmental conditions deriving from global climate change in the state of Sinaloa and its impact on the region's main productive activities have not been sufficiently studied. The article describes various phenomena associated with climate change and its consequences for Sinaloa, analyzes the scarce climate scenarios that include the region, and discusses the modifications caused by tropical cyclones and interannual changes. It also discusses the repercussions of climate change on agricultural activity and aspects related to sea level rise. Finally, the text empathizes on the lack of local estimations and studies that could serve as base for improved planning strategies and initiatives to facilitate adaptation to climate change in the region.
