Jan Egeland Change Quotations

Climate change disasters will displace more and more. Those who are most exposed are the poorest.

Increasingly gang violence and organized crime, together with climate change-driven natural disasters, are displacing more people as wars are fewer on the continent and political violence has decreased considerably, the NRC has decided to treat this as a humanitarian crisis.

We need a change in mentality. You get a lot of headlines for foodstuffs for those who are already in disasters. You don't get any headlines for prevention.

We have enough to keep people alive, but we can't at all change their totally inhuman kind of situation in camps where they cannot live without being attacked.

Conditions here are totally unacceptable. It has to change because people have to live a better life and have a better future.
