Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change

Climate change isn’t a one-size-fits-all problem for the biosphere. Rising temperatures, ocean acidification, and altered precipitation patterns will disproportionately impact vulnerable ecosystems and communities with limited resources. This can lead to biodiversity loss, mass migrations, and food insecurity, with developing nations often bearing the brunt of these consequences despite contributing less to global emissions.
