Special Report: Landslides exacerbated by climate change

How can the most vulnerable countries protect against climate change if they’re drowning in debt? A major international aid agency revealed this week that 93% of the world’s worst-affected countries can’t afford to safeguard against natural disasters. Some are being forced to slash public spending or invest in fossil fuel industries just to pay back their debts to central banks. Action Aid International says it's high time for a radical overhaul of the way debt is managed to stop the climate crisis spiraling – pointing to IMF and World Bank meetings this week in DC. The impact of our changing climate is all around us – just look at the two apartment buildings that collapsed in a landslide in Mexico this week. Scientists warn that climate change is only making such disasters worse.
