This, in turn, affects their ability to sustain their families and manage other natural resources that lay the foundation of sustainable production systems.

Indigenous peoples’ reliance on natural resources for food, medicine, culture, identity, knowledge and the economy must be considered in any assessment of risks and impacts. (...) For example, in Canada, men are more exposed to toxics such as asbestos (in the construction industry)86 and women to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in plastics, raising their relative risk to developing cancer and other health conditions.87 The exposure of female consumers to toxic chemicals in cosmetic products and the intense exposure, predominantly of female workers, at beauty salons offer further examples.88 Indigenous women endure some of the highest levels of exposure in Canada.89 81 A/HRC/33/41. 82 http://bccewh.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2013_RethinkingWomenandHealthyLiving.pdf. 83 Sarah Lewis and Dayna Nadine Scott, “Regulating toxics: sex and gender in Canada’s chemicals management plan”, Osgoode Legal Studies Research Paper Series (2014). 84 See http://acsqc.ca/sites/default/files/feminist_statement_on_cepa.pdf; Sarah Lewis and Dayna Nadine Scott, “Regulating toxics”. 85 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16996054. 86 www.carexcanada.ca/profile/asbestos-occupational-exposures; www.inspq.qc.ca/en/publications/ 1374. 87 See www.saicm.org/Portals/12/documents/meetings/IP1/Beyond-2020-Women-and-chemical-safety- 24-Jan-2017.pdf. 88 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16996054; Ami R.

The Constitution includes other provisions relevant to environmental protection, including article 21, which recognizes the right to life, and article 89, which states that the cultural aims of the country include the protection of its natural beauty.

The security of the water supply is threatened by natural disasters and changes attributable to climate change, including droughts, that have led to water rationing and intense rainfall and storms that damage infrastructure.

While traveling in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Special Rapporteur was pleased to see that the country’s natural beauty is mostly unblemished by littering and dumping of trash, with some minor exceptions along roads.

Climate change amplifies the risks of natural disasters to which Fiji has always been exposed, including floods and extreme weather events.
