And then also, in some cases, you know, even though we talked about El Nino being a naturally recurrent phenomenon, presumably Climate change, human-caused climate change is also kind of one of those additional stressors that kind of adds to that pile of factors that can compel displacement.

Alexander KjærumGUEST
You could say if these communities, you know, if they were only exposed to El Niño and then they would have these extreme events, but then they would have four or five years again to recover, regain their livelihoods and potentially be able to better cope with a future El Niño.

Alexander KjærumGUEST
Of course, the fact is that this is happening at the same time as climate change, which means that we are seeing an increase in the severity and frequency of extreme events.

Alexander KjærumGUEST
So in a lot of these countries, I mean, they're just coming out of extreme storms, drought conditions and floods in previous years.

Julian HattemHOST
I mean, what can humanitarian organizations do now to prevent the worst impacts from occurring? And, you know, just as importantly, is there evidence that they are doing that?
