Climate change and development - Parliamentary briefing on climate change and its impacts on development

Climate change is the greatest crisis facing humanity and it will hit the poorest people of the world the hardest. Rich countries like the UK are historically responsible for most of the carbon dioxide built up in the atmosphere, but it is the poor people in these poor countries, who contribute the least to this problem, who will suffer the most severe consequences. This briefing, released in the run up to the climate change bill, therefore highlights the developmental impact of climate change to MPs.
