[ExI] We're Headed For a Class-Based 'Climate Apartheid', Warns Chilling New UN Report

[John Grigg]

"In a blistering new report
<https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/RegularSessions/Session41/Documents/A_HRC_41_39.docx>
being presented to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva this week, Alston
warns hundreds of millions of people will face food insecurity, forced
migration, disease, and death this century – and even in the short term the
mounting crises will be devastating in effect.

"It could push more than 120 million more people into poverty by 2030," Alston
says

.

"Climate change threatens to undo the last 50 years of progress in
development, global health, and poverty reduction."

The biggest risk, the report explains, is to the world's poor; people from
nations who are the least responsible for the consequences of carbon
pollution, but who will feel its most severe impacts."
