Cause and Effect
The countries that have emitted the most greenhouse gases—those that have played a larger role in causing the climate crisis—tend to be least vulnerable to its impacts. Conversely, the countries with the lowest emissions—those that have contributed least to global warming—are already most ravaged by the crisis and most vulnerable to it going forward.
