Reducing the Impact of Climate Change on the World’s Poor

Global climate change threatens farming, natural resources and human health in the world’s poorest communities. CARE’s new policy agenda aims to reduce the impact of devastating climate changes on poor and marginalized people, who suffer most from the damage to natural resources and agriculture. CARE brings an important, new perspective on this issue as an advocate of the world’s poor, who have been largely invisible in the debate over global warming.
