Chad. Chad ranks as the world's most climate-vulnerable country on the Notre Dame-Global Adaptation Initiative Index, which examines a country's exposure, sensitivity and capacity to adapt to the negative effects of climate change.
Children face greater risks from pollution worsened by climate change than adults. Their lungs and their bodies' defenses are still developing, and they breathe more air per pound than adults. Because they often spend more time outdoors, kids also breathe more polluted air than adults do for their size.
According to the report, Afghanistan, Burma, Colombia, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Iraq, Nicaragua, North Korea and Pakistan are likely to face a slew of extreme weather episodes that pose threats to energy, food, water and health security.

the time in drought will increase across southern Australia. snow depths will decline. extreme rainfall events will become more intense. sea levels will rise.
Pacific Island nations, such as Kiribati, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands, are low-lying and face the same risks as well. Sea level rise could displace inhabitants, harm the economies of these nations, and threaten the loss of their unique cultures and traditions." The Maldives is the flattest country on the globe.
Kiribati, the first country rising sea levels will swallow up as a result of climate change.
Where should we run to? With the world heating up it makes sense to head south for cooler climates — which is why many are looking to the island state of Tasmania for sustainable buying.
Three major economic centres are set to become uninhabitable by the end of the century, with global temperatures on track to warm by 2.7C. Darwin, Broome and Port Hedland are predicted to be pushed outside the “human climate niche” — that is, the temperature and humidity conditions in which humans can survive.
By 2050, the Thredbo area in the NSW Snowy Mountains will have a longer and hotter winter in store, with temperature increases of 4.8°C in the next few decades. And Sydney's western suburbs, urban areas like Penrith are set to experience 86 additional days of temperatures higher than 30°C.
Located right in the center of the Tropical climate zone, and with a subclimate characterized as a tropical monsoon climate, Myanmar has experienced some of the most extreme weather ever seen on Earth. Don't let the beautiful tropical environment fool you, as the climate of this place could be fatal.
Since 2006, China has been emitting more CO 2 than any other country. When looking at CO2 emissions per person, China's levels are less than half those of the United States (the next largest source of CO 2 emissions) and about one-eighth of those of Palau (the biggest CO 2 emitter per person).
The report stated there was “very high confidence” that temperatures would rise across Australia throughout the century, with the average annual temperature set to be up to 1.3C warmer in 2030 compared with the average experienced between 1986 and 2005.
Civilisations could collapse by 2100
Despite only dealing with probabilities, scientists predict without a determined effort to reduce emissions, the globe will likely experience 4 degrees of warming by 2100. “That makes large parts of Australia and other continents uninhabitable,” Prof Flannery warns.
Australia boasts one of the highest standards of living in the world, with its healthy #lifestyle, excellent #healthcare, and #education system. The country's pollution-free air, temperate climate, and natural ecosystems make it an ideal place to live.
The city of Perth has the best weather/climate in Australia. The city enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and mild but wet winters. Perth is also the sunniest capital city in Australia and is considered one of the hottest experiencing over 250+ days of sunny blue skies.
One in 25 properties in Australia will be uninsurable by 2030 due to extreme weather, according to The Climate Council. That means properties will be too expensive to insure - it simply won't be viable for insurance companies or homeowners.
The southern coast, which includes Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, has the best climate by far, with mild winters (June to August) between 41°F and 50°F (5°C and 10°C) and warm summers (December to February) between 77°F and 86°F (25°C and 30°C).
According to Arcadis, cities in North America tend to outperform other world cities when it comes to water quality. In fact, Toronto, Chicago and Philadelphia rank in the top three North American and global cities for ensuring a healthy and clean water supply.
While Earth's climate has changed throughout its history, the current warming is happening at a rate not seen in the past 10,000 years.
