The Forgotten Frontline: How Climate Change Inequality Threatens the Poorest Nations

Image
  Introduction Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is a lived reality for millions. Yet, its impacts are not distributed equally. While wealthier nations possess the resources to adapt and mitigate the effects, poorer nations—those least responsible for global emissions—bear the brunt of the crisis.

This article critically examines the systemic failures of global climate policies, the inaction of powerful nations and the dire consequences for developing countries. We ask the questions many avoid: Will meaningful action ever happen? Who will benefit from global climate initiatives? And most importantly, will the poorest nations receive the support they desperately need? Section 1: Understanding Climate Inequality What is Climate Inequality?
