The IPCC Special Report on 1.5℃ concluded that climate change has already increased the probability and intensity of individual extreme weather events occurring , and our new baseline consideration should be that serious climate change impacts are already being experienced by the most vulnerable, with long-term implications for development . In both developing and developed countries the disproportionate impacts of the compounding effects of climate change on development are felt by the most disadvantaged. For example, the residual impacts of storms like Hurricane Maria  illustrate how rising temperatures, extreme weather events, coral bleaching and sea level rise come together and create compounding hazard-cascades to leave long-lasting effects on the lives of the poor, as well as their food and water security, health, livelihoods and prospects for sustainable development-not only in developing countries , but also in highly inequitable industrialised countries within the same region .
