Climate change causes hunger, climate shocks and natural disasters.
Those who have done the least to cause it are suffering the most from its impacts.
- 95 million people are subject to hunger because of drought, flood and other climate shocks rendering their land unable to produce food.
- 79% of the world's poor are rural and depend on subsistence farming for food.
- Since 2008, 175 million people have been displaced by climate shocks and disasters.
We work on the front lines of climate change.
At Tearfund, we not only work in mobilization and advocacy, but we work on the front lines of these realities – partnering with communities to overcome poverty and injustice. We have seen the resilience, capacity and persistence of these communities. This is the injustice of climate change: the people who suffer the most from climate change have done the least to cause it.
