The text explains how low-income and rural households face greater natural-disaster exposure, while negative income shocks can push nonpoor households into poverty. It links vulnerability to limited access to basic services and highlights climate inequality from uneven environmental stressors. The chapter outlines evidence using ENAHO data, poverty mapping for 2017–2021, and recommendations to sustain poverty reduction amid rising climate-related risks.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nKEY  \nMESSAGES  \nVULNERABILITY TO SHOCKS AND CLIMATE CHANGE  \nVulnerability to shocks and Climate Change  3  \n• Because of its location and topography, Peru is highly vulnerable to natural disasters. However, not all households are equally exposed to the same shocks: low-income and rural households are more exposed to natural disasters, while the more well off experience more idiosyncratic economic shocks. Coping mechanisms vary by socioeconomic level. Households in the highest quintile of the expenditure distribution rely on savings, while the poorest depend on informal safety nets, such as family members, and on reducing food intake.  \n• Negative income shocks pose a challenge in the effort to reduce poverty because they decrease the incomes of poor households and increase the probability that nonpoor households will become poor. Nonpoor households experiencing shocks have a high probability of falling into poverty. Among nonpoor households, the probability of becoming poor in the subsequent year almost doubles if these households experience a natural disaster.  \n• Vulnerable households include households that are currently poor, as well as those nonpoor that are at risk of falling into poverty. Shielding the gains in poverty reduction requires an understanding of the dynamic dimension of poverty. Between 2017 and 2021, total vulnerability in Peru rose from 28.2 percent to 37.4 percent, with large spatial variation across districts and departments (departmentos or regions) .  \n• Access to basic services varies by level of poverty and risk-induced vulnerability. Districts with the highest levels of poverty-induced vulnerability (the chronically poor) exhibit less access to government services. A group of districts may combine low poverty and high vulnerability rates. Despite having levels of access to services similar to the levels experienced in chronically poor districts, their economies are able to generate higher income levels, though they show high variability and substantial risk of falling into poverty.  \n• In a context of high exposure to risk and vulnerability, the economic impacts of climate change pose a challenge to efforts to reduce poverty and increase shared prosperity. Evidence on the effects of previous climate shocks may not provide a complete picture of the effects of climate change because accounting for adaptation is difficult.  \n• Climate inequality means that environmental stressors are not distributed equally. Lowincome households have been more exposed to past extreme weather-related events because of spatial dynamics: these households tend to be in higher risk areas. Not all regions will be exposed to the same changes in weather patterns and risk. The poor and vulnerable will face the greatest weather variations, thereby increasing climate inequality.  \n• The specific impacts of climate change depend on the effects on the income-generating capacity of households and on the implementation of public and private adaptation initiatives. While government institutions play a key role in helping poor people manage the uncertain risks of climate change, the participation of local governments is limited.  \n4  Vulnerability to shocks and Climate Change  \nDuring the last decade, Peru has been successful in reducing poverty and improving shared prosperity. However, because of the high frequency of shocks, sustaining these gains has proven difficult. The incidence and prevalence of shocks is expected to increase because of climate change, creating additional pressure on the capacity of households to respond, cope, and adapt to shocks. To continue the trend toward a reduction in poverty, adapting to this new environment is important.  \nThis chapter contains five sections.
