Quote on Climate Change and Social Inequalities

"Climate change is not just an environmental crisis. It is also a human rights crisis, a social and economic injustice, because the poorest and most vulnerable suffer the most, even though they are the least responsible."

Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
