| The devastating effects of climate change and conflicts fought over ever-scarcer resources such as water could cause a surge in migration that experts fear the world is totally unprepared for, CNN reported. At least 1 billion people will be forced from their homes between now and 2050 by such forces, the international charity group Christian Aid predicted in a recent report. |
据美国有线新闻网报道，气候变化的日益加剧和水资源等自然资源短缺，导致了移民狂潮，专家担心各国对此还没有准备好。国际慈善组织基督教援助组织的最新报告称，到2050年将至少有10亿人口（因为环境压力）而不得不进行迁移。 |
| This forecast is backed up by a new report by the British consultancy Maplecroft, that says developing countries in Asia and Africa face the biggest risks from global warming in the next 30 years. Poverty and large low-lying coastal regions prone to flooding and cyclones make Bangladesh the most exposed country, while India comes in second, and is vulnerable because of pressures from a rising population of 1.1 billion. |
这项预测又在英国研究顾问（风险评估）公司Maplecroft的最新报告中得到了佐证。报告称，未来30年中，亚洲和非洲的一些发展中国家将受到全球变暖的最大威胁。孟加拉国的贫困地区和沿海低洼地区易多发洪水，因而问题最严峻。印度紧随其后，其挑战来自11亿人口的压力。
