"even more"

Hi everyone. An essay on natural disasters starts this way: "Even more, in a time of climate change, the XYZ group of islands is one of the most dangerous places to live."

Starting with "even more" sounds very awkward to me since there is no reference situation against which the comparison is being made. Is this better: "The XYZ group of islands is one of the most dangerous places to live, even more (or especially?) in a time of climate change."

Thanks!
