Abstract: Climate change has emerged as the most crucial challenge for nation-states in the twenty-first century. This paper has examined the increased susceptibility of marginalized communities to the practical consequences of climate change. Inequalities within nation-states have been analyzed and this paper concludes that marginalized communities, including women and immigrants, lack the resources to prevent harm or recover from it in case of disasters or crises that are a result of climate change. The literature surrounding the adverse impacts of climate change on marginalized groups has been examined with conclusions suggesting the existence of pervasive inequalities across diverse geographic contexts. The differential causation and impact of climate change have also been examined, and this paper has sought to emphasize the need and justification for governments to urgently and actively address adverse consequences on communities that are most vulnerable. To that end, targeted insurance schemes, combined with an increase in focus on affirmative action on part of the state have been discussed. It has been found that these initiatives contribute to social mobility and emancipation in the long run in addition to addressing more urgent consequences.
