Image
Climate change has a profound impact on developing countries, which often face heightened vulnerability due to various socio-economic and environmental factors. Here’s a summary of how climate change affects these regions: 1. Economic Impact Agriculture: Many developing countries rely heavily on agriculture, which is highly sensitive to climate variations. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can lead to reduced crop yields, threatening food security and livelihoods. Infrastructure: Extreme weather events like floods, storms, and droughts can damage infrastructure, disrupting transportation, energy supplies, and water systems, which are often underdeveloped in these regions. 2. Health Effects Disease: Climate change can exacerbate the spread of diseases. For instance, higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns can increase the prevalence of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever. Heat Stress: Rising temperatures can lead to increased instances...
