Abstract

Climate change is a global problem that represents a serious threat to the human pation. The anthropogenic activities carned out by the desire to satisfy economic needs her consciously or unconsciously have caused the release of greenhouse gases (GHG) among which carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (NO2) which have caused a substantial increase in the average temperature of the planet. It is estimated that by 2030 Central America will still produce less than 0.5% of the world's emissions of greenhouse gases but at the same time it is already one of the region's most vulnerable to the onslaught of climate change Emphasizing some aspects of the spatial variability of climate change across national territory and especially in areas close to mangroves we can observe that temperatures play an important role in the hydrodynamics of these ecosystems, considering this vital parameter in the physiological activities of plants so abrupt variations would have repercussions on the ecophysiology of mangroves The human being as such has in his hands part of the responsibility of dealing with climate change Among the tasks that make man a force of action in the face of climate change we can mention the investigations that are carried out every day, the environmental teaching that seeks to create awareness in those people that causes negative repercussions to the environment, laws and regulations that are enshrined in favor of environmental rights. mitigation measures, land use planning plans, studies of environmental impacts and relevant conservation measures.
