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.
