From wealth to location: How climate change affects the UK’s population differently

Speaking at the summit, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres that the world was “on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator”. Among those present at the event are vulnerable countries and particular island nations who have demanded that rich countries pay their fair share in helping them tackle the crisis.
