Abstract
Developing countries are most exposed to
the impact of climate change and within these countries, the
poor face the brunt of the burden. Climate change is not a
discrete problem that can be dealt with through isolated
reforms: impacting economic growth, health, and
institutional capacity, it represents a full-frontal
challenge to development. This note traces the
multi-dimensional impacts of climate change, particularly on
the poor, and proposes a three pronged integrated response
to promote adaptation and help poor households cope with
related risks.
