More than two-thirds, about 69%, of people killed in climate-related disasters in the past 50 years were living in 47 of the world’s poorest nations, according to findings released by the group of least developed countries (LDCs) ahead of the United Nations Climate Action Summit, which took place this past weekend. The LDCs, which make up 13% of the global population, revealed the toll of extreme weather events like droughts, wildfires, floods and landslides between 1970 and 2019 as they launched their 2050 Vision, a blueprint for a climate-resilient future.
