This Comment supports SDGs 3 and 10 by highlighting that the Climate Change Implementation plan does not explicitly mention prisons, despite the unique health vulnerabilities of people living in prison and their inability to protect themselves from climate-related threats. The Comment focuses specifically on the rights of the prison population in Africa.
