All around the globe, there are people being affected by climate-related issues; nonetheless, environmental effects are more noticeable, to a greater or lesser extent, in countries burdened with ecological or social debts, suffering vulnerability or conflicts, enduring the pains of the climate crisis, all which suggests they require immediate help.
