While the wealthiest in the world contribute most to climate change, It’s the poorest and most marginalized who pay the highest price. 26 million people are forced into poverty every year because of natural disasters, and humanitarian crisis linked to extreme weather requires nine times more funding today than 20 years ago.
Climate change is fuelling hunger for millions of people around the world. Extreme weather events have increased five-fold over the past 50 years, destroying homes, decimating livelihoods, fuelling conflict and displacement, and deepening inequality.
