Find two cases of countries greatly affected by climate, either the present or the past. Climate impacts may include the following: major droughts, flooding, extreme weather events, heat stress, and sea level rise.
– In the first case, the climate impact caused serious problems to the society.
– In the second case, the country managed to avoid serious damage to the society by means of a response or policies set in advance.
For each case, describe:
– What is your country? When did the climate impact take place? What was the climate impact? How unusual was it?
– What was the country’s response, if any?
– What were the consequences of the climate impact in terms of damage to the society (people, property, and so on).
Discuss why, in your own opinion, the first and second cases are different; in other words, why did the first country suffer from more damage than the second country?
It is very important that you list all your sources of information.
