I think the impacts of climate change, because of the nature of how they impact the world, are hard to predict in terms of where events will take place. Investments into the NGO community or into the structures that exist within government in terms of disaster risk reduction, preparedness in terms of being able to respond to these events, and minimizing the impacts when they do happen—those are the kinds of priorities in terms of Government of Canada or Global Affairs Canada initiatives that I think are good investments. Just due to the very wide nature in terms of how they would have to be done, however, they aren't a priority when it comes to the immediate needs of displaced populations when they happen. It's this idea of wondering how you can invest in prevention when the needs around actual responding to events that are taking place in the world right now are so overwhelming.
I don't think there's a way to mitigate climate change. It's about being prepared to be able to respond, and to be able to respond effectively, when it happens. I think those are the capacities that are lacking in a lot of these countries.
