of internal and external instability and violence (Sachs). Quite a part from the more pragmatic issue of unrest, extreme poverty pulls at the moral (or reputational) heartstrings of the world’s leaders.

minorities are less educated and geographically displaced in already problematic and polluted areas. These groups may have less capacity to be prepared and to respond to hazards created by extreme weather events and—even less, to be able to recover from climate disasters. To protect disadvantaged segments of society from extreme climate events, awareness of climate change represents a crucial starting point. My research question is: “Is there a link between socioeconomic/educational status and…

improving local air and contributing to the reduction of global GHG and associated climate change impacts and Decrease the risk or severity of climate change impacts, such as storm-related flooding, sea-level rise, and frequency of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, and extreme temperatures or precipitation.

Severe weather causes injuries, fatalities, and mental health impacts. Extreme heat can lead to dehydration, heat stroke, or even death. Climate change also impacts water and food quality. Poor food quality can cause malnutrition and diarrheal disease. Poor water quality can cause cholera, cryptosporidiosis, campylobacter,…

Regarding to the estimation by the World Bank, 12.7% of the world’s population in 2012 lived under extreme poverty; at or below 1.90 dollars per day (the new poverty line).
