Previous research has demonstrated a connection between increasing climate change and global poverty.  It is also well understood that climate change is the result primarily of developed nations, while it is the poorest countries that are expected to suffer the most from its effects.  Moving forward, policy that attempts to address these issues must also take into account these inequalities.  This research is informed by first-hand experience as an ACS student delegate at the 21st Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France.
