Climate change and internal displacement 2011, para. 71
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The international community has acknowledged that measures responding to the effects of climate change are likely to have adverse economic and social consequences for some, and that support, including financing, technology and capacity-building, will be necessary in order to minimize these impacts and "build up the resilience of societies and economies negatively affected by response measures". However, safeguards to prevent or minimize displacement resulting from measures which aim to mitigate climate change - and which in many cases affect indigenous and minority groups - continue to be weak.
