Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen has proposed establishing a fund by V20 for the rehabilitation and reintegration of climate migrants to societies, or else, they could be a "security risk".
"V20 (Vulnerable Twenty) may think of establishing a Fund for their rehabilitation and reintegration to societies, otherwise they could be a security risk," he said.
Each year, Dr Momen said, thousands of people are uprooted from their sweet homes and traditional jobs due to global warming, inundation and river erosion.
