CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BE AWFUL FOR EVERYONE BUT CATASTROPHIC FOR THE POOR
Climate change already has observable effects on our planet. Rising temperatures are causing periods of lethal heat waves and longer periods of droughts. Sea level rise is threatening coastal areas and surrounding infrastructure, including roads, bridges and water supplies. Increased and more intense storms are leading to deadly floods and posing a threat to biodiversity. For the world’s most vulnerable communities, climate change leads to catastrophic outcomes. According to the World Health Organization, by the year 2030, climate change is expected to contribute to nearly 250,000 additional deaths per year in developing countries.
