      "content": "- Cumulative income losses could reach up to 18.6 percent by 2050 and 50.6 percent by 2100.\n- Scaling up investments in structural resilience and adaptation can partially mitigate these losses—raising output by up to 12.3 percent by 2050 and 31 percent by 2100.\n- Investments in resilience also generate long-term fiscal savings (quantitative magnitudes are presented in the paper’s scenario analysis)."

      "content": "- Scale up investments in structural resilience and adaptation to reduce output losses from El Niño Costero events and rising temperatures.\n- Strengthen adaptive capacity across sectors most affected: fishing, agriculture, construction, and energy.\n- Use scenario-based macro-fiscal analysis to inform prioritization of resilience investments that both raise output and yield long-term fiscal savings."
