What impact does climate change have on inequality?

Climate change exacerbates inequality by disproportionately affecting marginalized communities and exacerbating existing social and economic disparities. Low-income communities and people of color are often hit the hardest by the impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather events, food and water scarcity, and displacement. These communities typically have fewer resources and support systems to cope with and recover from these challenges, leading to a cycle of poverty and vulnerability. In order to address climate change effectively, it is essential to prioritize equity and ensure that all communities have the resources and support they need to adapt and build resilience.
