    “Imagine the anxiety of people living in these islands” @DrMariaNeira on climate change-induced disasters that needlessly cost lives and livelihoods in small islands every year #SDGLive #SIDS #ClimateAction

    Select Quotes from Dr. María Neira

    “Imagine the anxiety of people living in these islands, knowing very well what a natural disaster is about and knowing that there is very little they can do to tackle the causes of natural disasters.”

    “Small Island Developing States want simply to stop the causes, and they want help to adapt to the consequences of climate change.”

    “They [Small Island Developing States] need to at least make sure that they are more resilient and better adapted because climate change is already affecting them.”
