Climate Apartheid – Climate Change Making Poor People Poorer

According to UN human rights report, the world is rapidly approaching a stage of “climate apartheid” in which the rich could enjoy the basic resources for life despite the climate changes, while the poor will suffer. Wealthy people/organizations can mitigate effects such as food insecurity and protection from contagious diseases caused due to climate change. This is a global phenomenon and is becoming more relevant in developing economies including China and India. It is expected that climate change could force more than 100 million people to poverty by 2030 which could have severe impact on the global economy as well. For instance, in the last decade drought has affected more than 1 billion people worldwide and this had severe impact in the agriculture industry. This has led to severe food shortage in several parts of the world and has displaced several people.

Most of the people living in poverty rely on agriculture for surviving. Weather shift, water scarcity, and heavy competition for resources can affect the livelihood of these people badly. Unless, a worldwide initiative supported by governments is initiated the world will experience a severe economic disaster.
