Abstract
People living in poverty, who are the least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, bear the brunt of climate impacts.
CARE is already seeing how climate change is eroding and reversing development gains and exacerbating
gender inequality and social and economic injustices across the world. Climate change is increasingly affecting
everything that CARE does and poses a significant threat to our vision of a world of hope, tolerance and social
justice where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security. Without urgent action, this could
make it impossible for poor and marginalised people to reach a wide range of poverty eradication and sustainable
development goals. CARE is already very active in helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change and
build resilience, and has produced a range of learning tools based upon its experiences, and engages in advocacy
and communications.
