    "content": "alongside FR-ICGLR member states and parliamentarians, to come together, play their role and support long-term efforts to help communities to adapt to these changes. Displacement in climate change fuel crisis is already a global reality; a reality that reflects and implies the deep inequalities and injustices. The climate crisis exasperates vulnerability, leading to displacement, which affects inter alia the rights to a decent standard of living, health and education for those displaced. Lastly, at the just concluded 14th Ordinary Session of the Plenary, Assembly and Related Meetings of the FP-ICGLR, which took place from 15th to 19th April 2024 in Livingston, Zambia, the role of the parliament in adapting to climate change in the Great Lakes region was the theme of the event. This theme would not have come at a better time considering the recent weather changes owing to climate change. The discussions revolved around recognising and addressing the impact of climate change within the Great Lakes region. The plenary assembly underscored the pivotal role of parliamentarians in the foundation of crucial decisions and effective solutions for adaptation and climate actions in the region. This shows the endeavour of the region to tackle the challenges presented by climate change. In conclusion, the forum extends its heartfelt condolences and stands in solidarity with the governments, parliaments, and people of Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi who are currently grappling with the devastating effects of the heavy rains and flooding."
