Climate change

Climate change is not an issue for tomorrow. The world can no longer afford to see it that way. It is already affecting people across the globe, many of whom did not contribute to creating the problem in the first place. It has become one of the greatest threats to global poverty reduction. If not addressed properly, climate change will set back global human development and could reverse any achievement made towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Mozambique is one of the countries most at risk from the effects of natural disasters and climate change. A recent report by the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) set out in terrifying detail the potential impacts of climate change on Mozambique, if left unchecked.
