The unjust climate: Measuring the impacts of climate change on rural poor, women and youth

FAO

ABSTRACT

Heat stress is one of the many negative effects that climate change has on people living in poverty, especially women and youth in rural areas. A recent FAO report, The unjust climate: Measuring the impacts of climate change on the rural poor, women and youth, is based on 70 years of data on rainfall and temperatures, and surveys of over 109,000 households across 24 countries worldwide.
