Laudato Si’ Week: Appeal for Climate Change Victims
As the International Migration Review Forum (IMFR) gets underway, the leadership of the global confederation of Catholic relief agencies, Caritas Internationalis (CI), is calling on the international community to grant a special protection status to people and communities displaced due to climate change.
In a Tuesday, May 17 report, the CI Secretary General said that the entity is pushing for legal protection for “people and communities displaced due to climate change” and favorable conditions for people “to stay where they live”.
“On the occasion of the International Migration Review Forum (IMFR), Caritas Internationalis asked for a special protection status to be granted to people and communities displaced due to climate change’s adverse effects,” Aloysius John has been quoted as saying in the report.
