Transcript Climate change is linked to inequality

Climate change is linked to inequality
Secondary effects of CC
 Reduced food production
 Increasing disaster losses
(flood and droughts)
 Supply of drinking water
quality and pollution
 Healthy lives and
wellbeing
 Conflict, war
 Migration
 Biodiversity loss
Climate change is becoming
rapidly the greatest threat to
poverty eradication, having
an impact on many aspects of
development and making
existing inequalities worse

We have a goal on climate
change! Keep it and
improve it!!
Table 1: Key decisions on climate change in OWG outcome document
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts *
*Acknowledging that the UNFCCC is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for
negotiating the global response to climate change.
13.1 strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate related hazards and natural
disasters in all countries
13.2 integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and planning
13.3 improve education, awareness raising and human and institutional capacity on climate
change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction, and early warning
13.a implement the commitment undertaken by developed country Parties to the UNFCCC
to a goal of mobilizing jointly USD100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address
the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and
transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its
capitalization as soon as possible
13.b Promote mechanisms for raising capacities for effective climate change related
planning and management, in LDCs, including focusing on women, youth, local and
marginalized communities
