Madrid, 8 Dec (EFE), (Camera: Victoria Moreno).- Climate migration represents one of the toughest challenges across the world since every year over 17 million people are forced to abandon their homes due to disasters induced by the effects of climate change.The impact of climate change, such as desertification, "it's like slow poison," Sanjay Vashist, Director of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), said during an event at the 2019 UN Climate Change Summit currently being held in Madrid.Loss and damage associated with these effects cause "economic losses" to agriculture and tourism, he added.Several organizations from South Asia highlighted the importance of protecting climate migrants' rights during the event.In 2018, there were more than 17 million displacements in 144 countries associated with natural disasters, including floods or drought, according to the Global Report on International Displacement 2019 by the International Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC).The report shows that human mobility brought about as a result of the effects of global warming is going up every year.FOOTAGE OF THE 2019 CLIMATE SUMMIT HELD IN MADRID.SOUNDBITES OF:-SANJAY VASHIST, DIRECTOR OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICY INSTITUTE (SDPI)-SHAMSUDDOHA, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE CENTER OR PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
