DESCRIPTION:Through my research\, I am analysing the impacts of climate ch
 ange on different social groups. My undergraduate dissertation uses an OLS
  model to investigate correlations between natural disasters and within-co
 untry income inequality. I found that a 10% increase in the number of peop
 le affected by climate disasters corresponds with a 0.07% increase in the 
 Gini coefficient. Moreover\, the results reveal different patterns of clim
 ate and economic variables’ effects on income inequality in four differe
 nt income group categories. The results confirm the simultaneity of the is
 sue discussed in previous literature\, therefore\, I argue for income ineq
 uality minimising economic development policies as the means to mitigate c
 limate change effects.
