Climate Change, Terrorism: Expand security talks to fight challenges

Foreign Minister Dipu Moni yesterday called for expanding security discourse to face the challenges of climate change and terrorism.

She was speaking at the 18th Asean Regional Forum (ARF) in Bali. Twenty-six foreign ministers from the participating countries attended the meeting.

The foreign minister highlighted the nexus between climate change challenges and security and called for expanding the security discourse in the ARF.

Dipu Moni in her speech highlighted the security implications from global warming and its resultant sea-level rise that could cause extensive climate change induced displacements.

She also urged the member states to address the root cause of terrorism and underscored the need for pro-active initiatives such as promoting a culture of peace and ethnic and religious inclusion.
