Foreign Affairs committee  Absolutely. Unfortunately, we don't have enough statistics. That shows you how little attention women and girls as a group are given. It seems that, by and large, they are actually at a higher risk of displacement than any other group, but we don't quite know. We've heard a lot about education at this committee.

Foreign Affairs committee  Okay.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes. Climate finance is just a fancy way of keeping in place an already not-fit-for-purpose international financial system that has always been disproportionately supportive of the global north, which has extractive states that have developed on the backs of states that have been victimized by colonial legacies.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for those questions. Let me start with the last one. In 2009, the international community came together and pledged—it wasn't committed to, but pledged—that the global north would start providing $100 billion every year to the global south to help it adapt to climate change.

Foreign Affairs committee  I can't get it working.

Foreign Affairs committee  Good afternoon, and thank you to committee members for the kind invitation to be part of this important discussion on Canada's approach to Africa. I founded Climate Refugees 10 years ago after working with refugees all around the world, especially in Africa. That work made clear that climate change is increasingly impacting mobility all around the world.
