Note that the assessment here is largely based on the national and regional distribution of impacts, rather than sub-national distribution or explicit consideration of vulnerable elements of society. Climate risks are also strongly related to inequalities, often but not always intersecting with poverty , geographic location, and political and socio-cultural aspects. Thus, countries with high inequality tend to be more vulnerable, and more exposed, to climate hazards . While the literature assessed here tends to be insufficiently granular to resolve local inequalities, it does confirm the AR5 finding that low- latitude and less developed areas generally face greater risk.
