"[C]limate change is not something waiting to happen. It is impacting seriously the lives of many people around the world.”
The migration of people from newly uninhabitable areas presents a security issue that needs to be addressed by the United Nations Security Council.
“This is one of the reasons why I've described climate change as all encompassing.
[...]
This threat to our health, this threat to food production, this threat to security. It raises political tensions, it will have people on the move -- and they are on the move -- and many more which will bring tensions.”
-- Kofi Annan, Global Humanitarian Forum's president, former U.N. Secretary-General, speaking to CNN's Becky Anderson in London
