Poor countries are hit first and hardest by climate change (droughts, floods, rising sea levels), yet they have the least capacity to adapt. The report calculated that by 2100, the poorest 40% of the world’s population could see their HDI decline by up to 30% due to climate impacts alone. Conversely, the wealthiest 10% might see a slight decline in quality of life, but not a loss of basic human development.
Current inequalities are often the result of historical norms that will persist into the future. The report emphasizes that without intervention, the "new great divergence" caused by the climate crisis and rapid technological change could mirror the social upheaval of the Industrial Revolution.
