Who are on the frontlines of the ClimateCrisis
- those living in places that are close to human and animal thermal limits
- those living near rivers and ice
- those living near coastlines.
As we continue to heat the risks are going to rise exponentially on the front lines, and it’s happening already at +1.3° of heating.
Take the situation in Rio Grande du Sul in Brazil for example:

We can’t avoid 1.5° which is now imminent. It is very likely that we will fail at keeping temperatures below 2ºC either.
Climate chaos awaits.
