%
By 2050, Belize could lose 29% of its GDP in rural areas (Rocky Road scenario). The Stann Creek and Toledo districts could be hotspots for agricultural decline. The Indigenous Garífuna and Maya populations in these districts, many of whom rely on subsistence farming, could be particularly vulnerable to climate impacts in these areas.
