Description
This report argues that climate change is linked to issues such as food production, access to water, health, migration, gender and the economy. The report takes The Philippines, Honduras,Kenya, Malawi and Ethiopia as case studies and discusses each in depth in the framework of the issues above. Each chapter outlines individual findings for each case study.
Based off of these studies this report recommends:
- A framework for climate change
- A switch to more sustainable ways of producing and consuming
- support and promote sustainable agricultural approaches and secure access to natural resources to ensure that the most vulnerable people can adapt to the impacts of climate change
