According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the effects of climate change are likely to reap the worst impact upon the poorest and most vulnerable communities of the world. Climate change is essentially the raft of average whether changes that have occurred throughout history and still occur now. While historically the main driving forces of climate change have been natural factors such as a change in the dynamic processes on Earth (for instance Ice Ages), the new bread of climate change is broadly accepted as being caused by human activities.
