This fact sheet chart outlines the relationship between climate impacts—such as sea level rise, temperature increase, extreme weather, and precipitation changes—and their resulting human impacts, including loss of life, health crises, and property damage, while linking these outcomes to specific international human rights.

• Sea level rise leads to flooding, sea surges, erosion, and the salination of land and water. These impacts result in the drowning and injury of people, a lack of clean water and disease, damage to homes, property, and coastal infrastructure, the loss of agricultural lands, and threats to tourism through the loss of beaches.
• Temperature increases cause changes in disease vectors, coral bleaching, and impacts on fisheries. These result in the spread of disease and changes to commercial and traditional fishing livelihoods, as well as threats to tourism due to the loss of fish diversity and coral.
• Extreme weather events and changes in precipitation cause higher intensity storms, sea surges, erosion, and loss of land. These lead to the dislocation of populations, contamination of water supplies, psychological distress, damage to agricultural lands and soils, and disruption of educational services and medical treatment.
