 People have always moved due to the environment, and they will continue to do so in the future. Environmental migration is a present reality. Disaster displays millions every year, and climate change already affects migration patterns around the world. Even when societies are slowed down by COVID-19, nothing stops cyclones and floods. The climate continues to change, the environment keeps degrading, and many people are still forced out of their homes. Others, on the contrary, are trapped in environmentally fragile regions or cannot resort to usual seasonal agricultural activities. On World Environment Day, I join the voices of the UN leaders calling to protect our biodiversity and to take climate action. Even while we battle this global pandemic, we must not forget the critical impacts of environmental change and make sure our recovery keeps focus on climate change and biodiversity. Let's take action now, for people and for nature.
