Is climate change already having an impact on Oxfam’s work?
Yes. Oxfam staff and partners are seeing for themselves how poor people are being hit first and worst by the impacts of climate change, despite them being least responsible. The people we work with are reporting ever-changing and unpredictable weather patterns, whether that’s deeper and longer lasting floods in South Asia, irregular rainfall and drought in Kenya, or hotter temperatures which are melting glaciers in Tajikistan. Because of all this, so much of our work now needs to include the potential impact of the changing climate.
