Rich countries consume large quantities of fossil fuels, which makes them responsible for the climate change across the world. People in developing countries are largely affected by this. Hivos therefore encourages a transition to renewable energy and invests in sustainable energy in developing countries.

If the western world continues to consume such large quantities of fossil energy the effects on the climate will be catastrophic. People in developing countries are affected the most by climate change. They are poorly equipped to defend themselves against the effects of a changing climate.
