The "Human Face" of Sea-Level Rise: Protection of persons Affected

Thank you so much, Professor Grossman. I will not take time from my presentation to do a long thank you or introduction, but I really wanted to thank you warmly, Claudio, for putting together these two days of conversation so that we can connect with the Americas and also have your contributions and your experiences to our work, which you, Claudio, have committed to and are delivering on your promise to help us to navigate through what is going on in the Americas concerning sea-level rise. This is very important because, as it was mentioned, the Commission works based on practice, and we are making good effort to have as representative a practice as possible, so this is a very welcome opportunity, certainly from the Co-Chairs of the Study Group, but I think from the whole Study Group and the whole Commission—we appreciate your efforts and all your contributions.
