WRITTEN QUESTION

Why are poor countries more vulnerable even though they pollute less?

کم آلودگی پیدا کرنے کے باوجود غریب ملک زیادہ متاثر کیوں ہوتے ہیں؟

ANSWER & EXPLANATION

They often have fewer financial resources, weaker protective infrastructure and less capacity to recover from disasters or adapt. Vulnerability is about exposure and capacity, not only emissions.
