Vanessa Kerry, WHO Special Envoy for Climate Change and Health, highlighted the severe impact of climate change, predicting 1.2 billion climate migrants by 2050 and 132 million people driven into poverty. At the Small Island Developing States summit, a Caribbean leader criticized wealthy nations for their 'empty' climate promises, calling them 'grossly inadequate.' Former Prime Minister of Tuvalu, Enele S Sopoaga, emphasized the vulnerability of small island nations, stating it should not be a bargaining chip for regional security issues. The UN warns that climate change threatens healthcare and key infrastructure in low-lying Caribbean and Latin American regions, putting tens of millions at risk. With the number of climate-related emergencies expected to worsen, countries need to move quickly to disaster-proof life-saving infrastructure.
