Recently, the Netherlands Health Council and Scientific Climate Council (#WKR) published a joint advisory report ‘Climate Change and Health: Directions for policy’.

Councils recommend policies that reduce the increasing #healthrisks due to #ClimateChange and ensure better preparedness for new risks in the future.

Starting with policies for groups of people that have difficulty avoiding or adapting to climate change. The #DutchCaribbean also deserves priority.

One of my favorite places to visit, and one of my favorite airports to fly in and out of: Saba!

A tiny Dutch Caribbean island, the runway is the shortest commercial runway in the world and has sheer cliffs at both ends. It's a load of fun, and the diving is great!

"Saba, het Nederlandse Hawai’i. Met Mount Scenery als Mauna Loa. Deze knalgroene Toren van Babel rijst op uit de warme zee, als onneembare vesting zonder veilige plekken om aan te meren. En dus is het hier eens geen kakofonie van verbrande toeristen, maar van vogels, reptielen en amfibieën. Saba is een paradijs."
