Writer and broadcaster Adam Hart-Davis reports from Kenya on the threat posed by climate change. It is the world’s poorest people who are hardest hit by devastating droughts, floods and other extreme weather events. This is a massive injustice – climate change is caused by the world’s richest countries. Around the world, Practical Action is working with people to help them adapt to the effects of climate change.
