“I hereby join the Climate Migration Council—a growing group of government, business, national security, and advocacy leaders who share a commitment to put people at the center of climate action and to accelerate global solutions to the climate crisis, migration, and climate migration.
We can no longer treat climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and climate migration as separate challenges.
I commit to use my platform to urge governments across the globe to develop and adopt equitable and inclusive solutions to address climate mobility at the local, national, regional, and international level. We know that the climate crisis acts as a powerful accelerant to migration patterns, and we need legal pathways, clear institutional leadership and new integrated strategies at all levels of governance that anticipate and safely accommodate the increasing numbers of people affected by the climate crisis.”
