本文为大家推荐的是来源于《卫报》的一篇文章——Justice French minister warns of mass climate change

migration if world doesn't act作者是Adam Vaughan, Nairobi.

文章内容：

Global warming will create hundreds of millions of climate change migrants

by the end of the century if governments do not act, France's environment

minister has warned.

Ségolène Royal told ministers from 170 countries at the UN environment

assembly in Nairobi that climate change was linked to conflicts, which in turned

caused migration.

"Climate change issues lead to conflict, and when we analyse wars and

conflicts that have taken place over the last few years we see some are linked

to an extent to climate change, drought is linked to food security crises," she

said.

"The difficulty of having access to food resources leads to massive

migration, south-south migration [migration within developing countries]. The

African continent is particularly hit by this south-south migration."

"If nothing is done to combat the negative impact of climate change, we

will have hundreds of millions of climate change migrants by the end of the

century."

Royal's comments followed dramatic footage from the southern Mediterranean

of a people smuggler's boat capsizing with scores of migrants on board. The

Italian navy rescued 550 migrants from the water.

The latest incident served to highlight the flow of people from Syria and

North Africa into Europe. The International Organisation for Migration estimates

that 39,000 people have been pulled from the sea since the beginning of the

year.

Royal is not the first high profile public figure to link conflict,

migration and climate change. Ahead of the Paris climate summit last year,

Prince Charles said that drought exacerbated by climate change had played a role

in Syria's civil war, a claim supported by some researchers.

Royal also called on countries to start implementing last year's historic

Paris deal.

"The Paris climate change conference was an important turning point, and

today it is your responsibility to contribute towards implementing it,” she

said. “Acting for the climate is acting at the roots of these [humanitarian]

issues."

Uhuru Kenyatta, the Kenyan president, said that Kenya was already tackling

emissions through a renewable energy push that includes wind, geothermal, hydro

and, in the future, solar power. But he warned: "We have to be ready and willing

to make selfless sacrifices today if we want to leave our children and

grandchildren a viable and better world tomorrow."

In November, Royal will pass the baton of the international climate talks

to Morocco, which is hosting the next big UN climate summit in Marrakech,

following a fortnight of talks in Bonn which end on Thursday.

Rachib Firadi, head of international cooperation in the Moroccan

environment ministry, said that he wanted to speed up the ratification of the

Paris deal, and that adaptation to climate change would be a big focus of the

Marrakech summit.

"We have to restore the balance between adaptation and mitigation. We need

to take adaptation seriously. We also hope Marrakech [the next summit] will

provide some money, some fast start financing, for adaptation for developing

countries," he said.

Morocco faced a danger of internal migration because of rising temperatures

in its deserts, he said, and its desert peoples should be treated as though they

were at the same risk as those on small island states threatened by sea level

rises. "There is a risk of displacement of those people in the desert," he

said.

That internal movement of people would be on top of the existing migration

from sub-Saharan countries, he said. "You can see migrants in all Morocco cities

right now, and it has a social and economic impact. The government is trying to

integrate them, but it’s not easy."

Morocco has ambitious wind and solar power plans, and in February switched

on the first phase of what will be the world’s largest concentrated solar power

when complete, capable of providing power for 1.1m people.
