Momen urges global community to share climate migrants’ burden

PBC News:  Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has called upon the global community to share the burden of climate migrants’ rehabilitation.”Climate-induced displacement could lead to a global security risk in today’s interconnected world,” he warned.

Bangladesh foreign minister was speaking at a roundtable on “Environment of Peace: Securing a just and peaceful transition in a new era of risk”, organized by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on the sidelines of the Stokholm+50 international meeting in Sweden on Friday, a foreign ministry press release said on Saturday, reports BSS.
Momen said that the international community is not doing enough for millions of ‘climate migrants’ who often get subjected to various forms of security risks and exploitations.

He emphasized the significance of creating global awareness on the climate-security nexus and an enforcement mechanism to address the challenges.

The foreign minister also held bilateral meeting with the Swedish Minister for International Development Cooperation Matilda Ernkrans and discussed on how to enhance cooperation on climate change, education and other areas.
