:* to create: missing on articles about "Climate change in X country". Lots are currently missing, particularly for smaller nations (but also India and Malaysia!) see :Category:Climate_change_by_country

:* US states and territories also have individual articles: :Category:Climate change in the United States by state

:* Major global cities should either have a section in the main article about the impact of climate change or a separate article. See for example Boston#Climate_change_and_sea_level_rise. This is MISSING from the vast majority of city articles.
