It has been historically driven by an atmospheric build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated mostly by the industrialized world. The consequences of climate change-more intense hurricanes and typhoons, rising sea levels, drought, heat waves, major disruptions to agriculture-will be felt by communities around the world.
