Climate Change: Views from the Vulnerable (Complete) | Asia Society

The Climate Vulnerability Monitor is an independent global assessment of the effect of climate change on the world's populations today and in the near future. It is issued by DARA and the Climate Vulnerable Forum to draw attention to over 300,000 lives already lost each year as a result of global warming and changes to our climate. It is an independent global assessment of the effect of climate change on the world's populations today and in the near future.

The report targets some basic questions about climate change, including where the most serious impacts are being felt? To what degree? And what measures can minimize its harmful effects? In doing so it will clarify the extent of the main impacts of climate change on human society, and what some of the most effective responses to that impact are known to be.
