Climate-induced displacement could lead to global security risk: Momen

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen has said the international community is not doing enough for millions of 'climate migrants' who often get subjected to various forms of security risks and exploitations, reports UNB.

"Climate-induced displacement could lead to a global security risk in today's interconnected world," he warned while speaking at a roundtable on "Environment of Peace: Securing a just and peaceful transition in a new era of risk."

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

The event was organized by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) on the sidelines of the Stokholm+50 international meeting on Friday.

Momen stressed that the international community should share the burden of climate migrants' rehabilitation, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday.
