Climate-induced migration
Climate-induced migration poses security risks in Bangladesh and beyond: Momen
Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Monday warned that climate-induced migration poses grave security risks that may go beyond national borders.
“We remain sensitized to the fact that climate-induced forced migration can pose serious security risks with spill-over effects beyond national borders,” he said, seeking united and urgent action on climate migration.
Momen was speaking at a policy dialogue on “Human Mobility in the Context of Climate Change: Towards a Common Narrative and Action Pathway” held at the Foreign Service Academy.
