Description
Ibrahim Franklyn Kamara and a team of co-authors argue that climate fairness is a health duty in a 2026 piece on Sierra Leone. The coastal country leans on rain fed farms and faces heat, wild rain, floods, slides, and a rising sea. The authors frame these threats through a 2025 world court opinion on climate duties.
They warn that farm and road damage could cut the country's output by up to a tenth by 2050. Health harm falls hardest on the young, pregnant women, the old, and the urban poor. Plans on paper clash with mining goals, funds lean on fickle donors, and agencies work apart. The piece urges joined up action that ties health to climate plans.
