The climate crisis is no longer a future threat. It is reshaping lives, livelihoods and economies today, and its impacts are being felt most severely by those who have done the least to cause it. Oxfam’s global report, Disaster Divide, shows how climate-related disasters are deepening existing inequalities between and within countries.
Climate disasters don’t affect everyone equally. The super-rich are responsible for a disproportionate share of carbon emissions while the rest of the world faces the worst consequences. As people struggle to recover from floods, fires and rising food prices, the super-rich can protect themselves and even profit from the crisis.
Join us for the launch of Asia regional brief of the Disaster Divide report. Developed by Oxfam Asia Regional Platform, the brief zooms into the Asian context to show how this global picture plays out across the region. In this launch we will present the key findings of the brief, share regional perspectives, and provide an opportunity for discussion.
