Dr. Shobha Maharaj states that because of a lack of many types of data, evidence on impacts of climate change for small islands in IPCC reports is either absent or diluted. This can give the false impression that several impacts are not as dire as they are in reality.

The right to life includes the right to health and conditions of health. Professor Shaista Shameem states that there is no scientific distinction between human and the environment. If one element of the environment is compromised, humans are impacted. #promiseeurope2024 #iachr
