Estimated costs of adapting to climate change vary greatly, but in a study carried out by Oxfam, they found that $100 billion (over £60 billion) per year would be needed. And this would be money well spent, because if we don’t take action soon both to adapt and reduce our carbon footprint, this cost will rise.

We must help developing countries adapt to reduce our costs.

This is not money that we can loan or donate. The matter of fact is that this is money that developing countries like the UK owe to the developing world as compensation payments for the environmental damages caused by several centuries of “home-grown emissions”.

We’re not asking you for £60 billion.

What we are doing at Doctors of the World UK with our Disaster Risk Reduction project in Haiti is tackling the bull by the horns and helping the most vulnerable communities around the world to develop themselves in order to prepare and respond to the unprecedented scale of natural disasters that destroy their lives.

You can help too.

£8: Helps provide an emergency vaccination for 1 person.

£24: Guarantees an access to the care for a person displaced by a natural catastrophe in a camp.

You can make a real difference.
