Climate inequality report 2025 | Climate Change: A Capital Challenge - Why Climate Policy Must Tackle Ownership

Climate impacts are not equally distributed across the world; on average, the countries of the Global South suffer greater impacts than their counterparts in the Global North. This comprehensive report from the World Inequality Lab can help you to understand how wealth is fueling climate change, how wealth inequality is shaped by the changing climate, and how climate policy can address increasingly unequal asset and wealth ownership.

Although the report is intended for the public sector, the findings and recommendations may provide valuable insights for sustainability and public affairs teams seeking to support resilience in the communities where they operate.
