impact on disproportionately affected places

 * See our evolving style guide for guidance on writing about climate change in geographies
 * See below for articles by place
 * to create: missing on articles about "Climate change in X country". Lots are currently missing, particularly for smaller nations (but also India and Malaysia!) see Category:Climate_change_by_country
 * US states and territories also have individual articles: Category:Climate change in the United States by state
 * Major global cities should either have a section in the main article about the impact of climate change or a separate article. See for example Boston. This is MISSING from the vast majority of city articles.

General things to do

 * check sources - are they up to date? Neutral?
 * are current laws in a jurisdiction (eg a US state) listed?
 * is the article accessible/readable to a layperson? If not, try to write a better summary
 * does the lede adequately summarize the article?
 * are there any pictures or open access scientific graphs on commons to add to the article?
