Pursuant to paragraph 2 of the resolution, the Secretary-General will prepare a report on this matter, and we thank him sincerely for his work on this important issue. We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Governments of Finland and Liberia for organizing the successful High- Level Event on peace and security through women's leadership held in New York last month. Climate change has adverse effects on the distribution and quality of natural resources such as fresh water, arable land, coastal territory and marine resources. Such changes can increase competition for available resources, weaken Government institutions and lead to internal and international migration.
