The world's poorest populations are disproportionately vulnerable to climate change impacts.

They often lack the financial resources, robust infrastructure, and social safety nets necessary to adapt to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, or agricultural disruptions. This limited capacity makes them least equipped to manage the escalating challenges posed by a changing climate.

Addressing this disparity requires targeted support and equitable solutions to build resilience where it's most needed.
