Climate Change Daily Vid Nov 14 2017: My home are the islands of Kiribati

Calling for urgent action to build the resilience of the people most vulnerable to climate and weather extremes around the world - to avoid drastic humanitarian consequences.



In 2017 alone, the strongest Atlantic hurricane in more than a decade battered an estimated 1.2 million people and posed a serious threat to millions – and was just one hurricane in a series that pummelled the region.

South Asia experienced the worst floods in a century. Across the region, more than 41 million people have been affected with vast destruction of agriculture and housing.

Within climate negotiations, focus is often directed towards the vulnerability of a country to climate change.

Some communities will be dis-proportionally affected by climate change for a number of reasons.
