Do you really know? 
About this episode
Natural disasters lead to damaged property, loss of life, psychological trauma, displaced individuals and families, among other consequences. According to the World Meteorological Organisation, the number of natural disasters has increased five times since 1970. Researchers from all over the whole world have dedicated their careers to studying natural disasters. And they all agree on one thing. The poorer people are, the more likely they are to suffer the consequences. There’s a bitter irony to the fact that countries that have contributed the least to climate change are being hit the hardest by climate-related events. Are there any figures to back that up? Are there differences within a single country? What about other forms of inequality? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
