1 | Climate Change Could Already Be Displacing More People Than War | Mety ho efa namindra olona betsaka kokoa noho ny ady sahady ny fiovan'ny toetrandro |

7 | Some 26 million people are being displaced by natural disasters worldwide - roughly one person per second - three times the number of people displaced by war and violence. | Eo ho eo amin'ny 26 tapitrisa eo ny olona nafindran'ny voina voajanahary manerantany toerana - izany hoe tokony ho olona iray isa-tsegondra - in-telo avo heny noho ny isan'ny olona nafindran'ny ady sy ny herisetra toerana. |
8 | And most natural disasters are related to climatic conditions (although scientists can't tie a specific climatic event, like a hurricane, directly to the changing climate). | Ary ny ankamaroan'ny voina voajanahary dia mifandraika amin'ny toetr'andro (na dia tsy aaf-mampifandray ny toe-javatra ara-toetrandro, tahaka ny rivodoza, mivantana amin'ny fiovan'ny toetrandro aza ny manampahaizana). |

10 | It's not just people on the Marshall Islands and low-lying island nations who are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. | Tsy ny olona amin'ny faritra iva any amin'ny vondronosy Marshall na ireo nosy sy firenena iva toerana ihany no tena marefo eo anatrehan'ny fiantraikan'ny fiovan'ny toetrandro. |
11 | South and southeast Asia have large populations in low-lying areas that are exposed to the impacts from climate change, countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. | Manana mponina betsaka monina amin'ny faritra iva mirentirenty eo anoloan'ny fiovan'ny toetrandro ihany koa ny ao Azia atsimo sy atsimo atsinanana, toy ny ao Bangladesh, Vietnam, Kambodza ary Thailandy. |
12 | Climate change is expected to induce significant displacement of populations in those nations. | Heverina handrisika ny mponina amin'ireo firenena ireo hifindra toerana ny fiovan'ny toetrandro. |
13 | It's already doing so in Bangladesh. | Efa izany moa ankehitriny ny zavamisy ao Bangladesh. |
14 | Francois Gemenne, who studies populations displaced by environmental conditions and teaches at several European universities, says most climate refugees move internally, very short distances. | Francois Gemenne, izay mandinika ny mponina mifindra toerana noho ny toe-javamisy ara-tontolo iainana sy mampianatra any amin'ireo oniversite eoropeana maro, nilaza fa mifindra toerana ao anatin'ny firenena ihany ny ankamaroan'ny mpialokaloka, ary eo akaiky dia akaiky ihany. |
15 | And typically, the most vulnerable, the poorest, are unable to move because migration is simply too expensive. | Ary ny hita miavaka, tsy afa-mihetsika ireo tena marefo indrindra, ireo mahantra indrindra, satria lafo loatra ny fifindra-toerana. |
16 | “People are stuck in the face of disaster. | “Ankona ny olona rehefa miatrika voina. |
17 | People, to a certain extent, can sustain some changes and can resist changes. | Afa-mizaka fiovana sy miaritra fiovana sasantsasany ihany ny olona, hatramin'ny fetra iray. |
18 | But the changes are now becoming so hard, and so quick, and so repeated, that it comes a point where people can no longer sustain it,” says Gemenne. | Saingy mafy loatra ny fioana amin'izao fotoana izao, ary haingana dia haingana no miverimberina, hany ka misy ny fetra tsy mahazaka intsony ny olona,” hoy i Gemenne. |
19 | “We see a narrative of sustained suffering and sustained adaptation until a tipping point is reached and then a decision to migrate is taken.” | “Mahita fiaretana sy fizakàna manaraka ny toe-javamisy ataon'ny olona izahay mandra-pahatonga amin'ny teboka iray hanapahany hevitra hifindra monina.” |
20 | Of course, it's difficult to label somebody as a “climate refugee” when the forces that trigger people to move are often so complex - migrants relocate due to war, famine, economic hardship and natural disasters. | Mazava loatra fa sarotra ny hanondro olona iray ho “mpialokaloky ny toetrandro” raha mifamahofaho be loatra ireo hery mahatonga ny olona hifindra - mifindra monina ny olona noho ny ady, hanoanana, fahasarotana ara-toekarena ary voina ara-voajanahary. |
21 | “Clearly this is a difficult issue and it's not always easy, apart from some obvious cases such as sea-level rise, to identify climate change as a sole trigger (of migration), says Gemenne. | “Miharihary fa olana saro-dresahana izy ity ary tsy mora matetika, ankoatra ireo tranga miharihary tahaka ny fiakaran'ny ranomasina, hamantarana ny fiovan'ny toetrandro ho tokana mahatonga (ny fifindramonina), hoy i Gemenne. |
22 | “I think, actually, it makes little sense to try to identify and define a specific category of climate refugees or ecological refugees. | “Mieritreritra aho, fa mety ho misy dikany ihany ny miezaka mamantatra sy mamaritra sokajim-pifindramonina noho ny toetrandro na mpialokaloka noho ny tontolo iainana. |
23 | I think that what we ought to do is to recognize the growing role of the environment as a driving factor of migration.” | Mieritreritra aho fa tokony hanao izany isika hankatoavana ny anjara toeran'ny tontolo iainana mihamahazo vahana ho singa mahatonga ny fifindramonina.” |
24 | Consider Africa, says Gemenne, where a significant portion of the population remains tied to the agricultural economy that's been disrupted by a shifting climate. | Hevero i Afrika, hoy i Gemenne, izay mifamatotra akaiky amin'ny toekarena ara-pambolena izay tratran'ny fikorontanana ara-toetrandro ny ankamaroan'ny mponina. |
25 | “Many of the economic migrants in Africa are also environmental migrants because they can no longer make a livelihood.” | “Maro amin'ny mpifindramonina ara-toekarena ao Afrika ihany koa no mpifindramonina ara-tontolo iainana satria tsy manana fidirambola intsony ry zareo.” |
