While many scientists focus on studying climate change as a physics problem, Friederike Otto, one of the world's most renowned climate scientists, sees it as a symptom of the global crisis of inequality, not its cause.

Whether they are women working on farms in Ghana during heat waves, or elderly people who died during floods in Germany, the impact is clear.
