“The huge injustice of climate change is that it is those who have done the least to cause the problem - the most vulnerable from the world’s poorest communities - who are hardest hit by it.
“That is why Scotland is committed to supporting climate justice and why we are launching Scotland’s Climate Justice Fund.”

A new study involving experts in the School of Geography at The University of Nottingham found that the very poor and the relatively wealthy countries are less vulnerable — it was the group in the middle that was most at risk. This unexpected result was found at several different scales and by different members of the research team. They’ve called on policy-makers and NGOs to take their findings into account.
Scottish taxpayers´ money will hopefully now be used for some more urgent purposes.
