Change in income (%) for bottom 40% of the population by impact, by 2030 - Temperature
Change in income (%) for bottom 40% of the population by impact, by 2030, from climate change impacts relating to Temperature, is generated from data within Shock Waves : Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty. This report examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win” situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.
