Sea Level Rise • Flooding • Sea Surges • Erosion • Salination of land and water

The document outlines how climate-driven events like sea level rise, temperature increases, and extreme weather lead to human consequences such as dislocation, disease, and infrastructure damage, which in turn violate rights to life, health, water, and housing.

• Temperature increases lead to coral bleaching, impacts on fisheries, and changes in disease vectors, which implicate rights to self-determination, life, health, water, means of subsistence, standard of living, adequate housing, culture, and property.
• Extreme weather events, specifically higher intensity storms and sea surges, result in drowning, injury, and damage to coastal infrastructure, homes, and property, implicating rights to life, health, means of subsistence, and an adequate standard of living.
• Changes in precipitation cause erosion, loss of land, and a lack of clean water and disease, which implicate rights to life, health, water, means of subsistence, adequate standard of living, adequate and secure housing, education, and property.
