Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. It relates to the comments by the President of Kiribati that the migration must start now. I want to know when we are going to put in place an actual mechanism to accept climate refugees—and not just from Kiribati. Nicholas Stern predicts that there will be hundreds of millions of climate refugees within the next 40 years. When are we going to start actually creating a system for accepting climate refugees?
