Quote of the Month

“Increasingly, displacement is triggered or reinforced by factors such as natural disasters, desertification, population growth, rapid urbanisation, food insecurity, water scarcity, and violence related to organised crime. Climate change often exacerbates these other drivers of displacement. ”

- UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres in a speech published by Le Monde Diplomatique on 6 June 2012.
