Report from Christian Aid
Climate
change poses a threat to us all. But poor people are on the frontline
because the places in which they live are already prone to drought
or floods, high winds or rising sea levels. They will suffer first
and worst as the climate changes. The latest report from Christian
Aid entitled “The Climate of poverty: facts, fears and hope”
documents how climate change is now threatening development goals
for billions of the world’s poorest people – with a
clear danger that recent gains in reducing poverty will be thrown
into reverse in coming decades. Full report available at:
