El Salvador faces significant environmental challenges including high natural disaster risk from earthquakes and floods, deforestation, and water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change. Average temperatures have risen approximately 1°C over the past 30 years, with increased frequency of extreme weather events. The country has 6.5 million people and is committed to the Paris Agreement, with efforts in renewable energy and protected areas covering about 10% of land, though data on air quality, recycling, and renewables remains limited.
