Indonesia's poor will be worst hit by climate change: UN

Indonesia's poor will be most affected by climate change, the United Nations Development Program said in a report. "Climate change threatens to undermine Indonesia's efforts to combat poverty," the report said of the world's fourth most populous nation, which is already highly prone to disasters such as earthquakes, flooding and landslides. "Its impact is intensifying the risks and vulnerabilities facing poor people, placing further stress on already over-stretched coping mechanisms," it warned.
