New Global Multidimensional Poverty Index Report Reveals Nearly 80% of the World's Poor Live in Regions Exposed to Climate Hazards

Nearly 8 in 10 people living in multidimensional poverty – 887 million out of 1.1 billion globally – are directly exposed to climate hazards such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, or air pollution, according to a new report released today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford.

New Global Multidimensional Poverty Index Report Reveals Nearly 80% of the World's Poor Live in Regions Exposed to Climate Hazards

Nearly 8 in 10 people living in multidimensional poverty – 887 million out of 1.1 billion globally – are directly exposed to climate hazards such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, or air pollution, according to a new report released today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford. The 2025 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) report “Overlapping Hardships: Poverty and Climate Hazards”, released ahead of the COP30 climate summit in Brazil, presents new evidence that the climate crisis is reshaping global poverty.

…in Kim Stanley Robinson’s climate-fiction novel The Ministry for the Future, billionaires are eliminated as a #climatehazard their fortunes whittled down to $50m if they comply.

Robinson writes: “There’s scientifically supported evidence to show that if the Earth’s available resources were divided up equally among all 8 billion humans, everyone would be fine.”
