CSA is divided into eight climatic sub-regions by Working Group  I . Though the southern part of Mexico is included in the climatic sub-region South Central America  for WGI, Mexico is assessed in Chapter 14 . In this chapter, we refer to this sub-region as CA because it excludes southern Mexico. The climate- change literature for the region occasionally includes Mexico, and in those cases, our assessment makes reference to Latin America but when only southern Mexico is included, the term Mesoamerica is used. Figure 12.2 and Table SM12.1 summarise relevant characteristics of the sub-regions included in this chapter.
