Program Summary
The climate has changed and will continue to change, already having a disastrous impact on people and posing a long-term threat to human wellbeing. The impacts of this change are disproportionately felt by the most vulnerable across all parts of the world, particularly in rapidly urbanizing, but also in rural areas. The systemic nature of the problem and its urgency are unprecedented. Climate and weather-related events such as floods, storms and heatwaves impact 1.7 billion people.
