Tearfund works on climate change because the poorest are hit hardest.
Poor people are not the cause of climate change, but they are the ones hit first and hardest by its devastating effects. Tearfund’s partners across the world are already feeling the impacts of changes to their environment.
The bible tells us that ‘love does no harm to its neighbour’ yet the way we live now harms our neighbours in poor countries. Tearfund is campaigning to convince world leaders to take drastic action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help poor countries adapt to the devastating impacts of climate change.
