Climate change is an acute threat to global development and our collective efforts to end poverty and boost shared prosperity. Communities around the world are being devastated by droughts, floods, more intense and unpredictable storms, and sea-level rise. And as we know, when disasters strike, it is always the poor who are most vulnerable and suffer the most. Without urgent action, the impact of climate change could push an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030.
