Recommendation
CEDAW welcomed the fact that the country was the first Pacific Island State to adopt a climate change act. Nevertheless, it noted with concern the disproportionate impact of climate change, rising sea levels and other weather-related disasters on women. The United Nations country team recommended that the Federated States of Micronesia ensure that policies and measures to counter the effects of climate change were carried out through a human-rights based approach, which included gender responsive climate action.
