When the general public first started discussing climate change - back when it was referred to as global warming, it was seen as the “great equalizer.” People generally see something poetic about everyone being in the same boat dealing with the same problems. However, this could not be further from the truth. Just as with everything else in society, climate change will affect people differently based on social determinants. One of the first obvious effects of climate change that can no longer be ignored is the emergence of climate refugees.
