Mashup Score: 7
There are few visible markers of the accomplishments of public health. If epidemiologists do their jobs, nothing happens. An outbreak does not grow into an epidemic. A child does not go hungry. A would-be smoker never lights up. These achievements are rarely noticed or celebrated, but Caitlin Rivers lives for such victories. By making sure that things don’t happen, she and legions of scientists, practitioners, and policymakers change the course of history. We have many of the tools and experiences needed

The Special Rapporteur recommends a rainbow of measures that States, international financial institutions, multilateral development banks and businesses must take to address loss and damage.
