Quiz: Inequality and the Climate Emergency
Take this short quiz to learn more about how climate change has deepened inequalities around the world — and how Oxfam is fighting for transformative change.
Over the last 30 years, climate disasters have become increasingly frequent, severe and deadly. More than 189 million people are adversely impacted by these catastrophic events every year.
However, climate change does not affect people equally. Low and middle-income countries have borne the brunt of the consequences, with a staggering 79 per cent of recorded deaths from extreme weather conditions over the past few decades.
As leaders in the fight against poverty and inequality, Oxfam is committed to addressing the root causes of climate change and supporting those most heavily impacted by it.
But to meaningfully participate in advancing climate justice, we need first to understand what we are up against.
Discover the impact of climate change on global inequality and learn how Oxfam is striving for positive change and transforming our world by taking this quick and informative quiz.
