How climate change is affecting the lives of people in developing countries
The temperature of our planet has already risen by 1.1ºC compared to pre-industrial times. This change is significantly affecting communities in poor regions. Whether it is farmers starving due to crop failure or people becoming homeless by hurricanes and floods, climate change is having a major impact on their quality of life. More than 100 million people around the world are currently dependent on humanitarian assistance due to disasters or loss of livelihoods caused by climate change.
