In the draft resolution, paragraph 3, replace the first sentence with the following sentences: "The Assembly considers that the absence of a legally binding definition of 'Climate refugees' is a legal and structural problem. There must be a clear distinction between problems caused by overpopulation and by purely environmental changes."
Explanatory note
Culturally determined overpopulation is a self-caused phenomena and therefore, not an expectable environmental problem. The social responsibility cannot be denied and neglected. The commission must make feasible proposals to avoid the foreseeable problems of overpopulation, e.g. in Africa.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 3, replace the words "people who are forced to move as a consequence of climate change" with the following words: "people who are forced to move as a consequence of externally induced environmental changes"
Explanatory note
People who cut down woods, burn forests and pollute rivers cause climate or environmental changes. They are not victims of these consequences, but offenders. Victims and offenders. The social responsibility of the social community must not be neglected.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 4, after the words "climate change adaptation", insert the following words: "as long as the particular migrants obtain the approval of their country of destination, do not cause a significant burden to the host country and do not compromise the living conditions and culture of those already living in the area".
Explanatory note
The welfare systems of almost all host-countries must deal with massive non-calculable costs caused by immigrants. These social systems are mostly on the edge of collapse. Despite the estimated education status, the professional skills of migrants are mostly of no use to the host country.

In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 4, insert the following words: "making a clear distinction between real climate change and a self-induced overpopulation causing socio-cultural immigration in foreign social systems. Those self-caused problems can and must only be solved by the inhabitants of the specific country and area of origin."
Explanatory note
The concept of climate change is abused for the purpose of outsourcing homemade overpopulation problems. However, the outsourcing of the socio-culturally determined overpopulation problem only relocates the same problem to host countries. If the host country behaviour does not change, their welfare securing systems and socio-cultural communities will soon collapse.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 5.2.4, replace the words "while acknowledging the multiple causes of displacement which mean that climate change and conflict/violence interact." with the following words: "which means that overpopulation can cause environmental and climate change and, therefore, also conflict/violence as a consequence."
Explanatory note
It is essential to be open-minded while starting specific and local research about the reasons for displacement to strengthen the affected society and to avoid disaster. It is counterproductive to limit the research according to ideological or political restrictions. Furthermore, in much more densely populated Europe, it is impossible to host all of Africa.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 5.3.1, delete the second sentence.
Explanatory note
e.g. in 2018 250 people were displaced by the Ugandan military, because of settling in a nature reserve. Displacing them was in accordance with the nature reserve policy, but not in accordance with the Kampala Convention, which does not distinguish between displacement caused by overpopulation or merely by conflict.

In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 5.3.2.
Explanatory note
All immigration claims are subject to feasibility. It is central sovereign decision of the people, living in a country, being respected as a cultural community with the right to exist, to vote for their future themselves, whether they dare the risk of more alien migrants, more socio-economic problems or not.

In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 5.3.3.
Explanatory note
The CEB has 41 target countries. All of them are European countries. The goal of the CEB is to benefit Europeans. It is a problem of corruption, read the regular reports of the European Court of auditors. It is the concern and the duty of the migrant countries themselves to keep their environment clean.

In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 5.3.4.
Explanatory note
It is the duty of every country to have plans to combat and prevent climate-related hazards. It is impossible to regulate these concerns centrally through the Council of Europe. In every catastrophe of the last years, the international community has been able to help within seven or less days.

Explanatory note
The money we spend is the money of hard-working people, who do not get enough money to live in dignity when they are old. Collecting 100 billion dollars by 2020 and spending this money without placing it in an evaluated specified project is not responsible.

Explanatory note
Through the forecasting of environmentally induced migration, we would indirectly accept that we are responsible for people who have destroyed their own environment.

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5.3.7, insert the following paragraph:
"5.x.x. migration due to 'climate disasters' should be organised in such a way that the migration is limited as much as possible to one's own region, in order to accommodate the migrant or refugee as much as possible within one's own cultural area."

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5.3.7, insert the following paragraph:
"5.x. to develop a legal status in the asylum systems of member States and in international law for people fleeing long-term climate changes in their native country. The early industrialised member States of the European Council carry a particular responsability to those countries, especially of the "global south" affected by human-made climate change, and should therefore appropriately provide considerable asylum for climate refugees."

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 5.3.7, insert the following paragraph:
"When immigration is driven by so-called 'climate change' and not by economic, religious and geopolitical motives, then the location where these 'refugees' are received is not a location that should be chosen on the basis of these motives. On the contrary, it is still best for every refugee anywhere in the world to be received as close as home as possible, in their own region. The advantages are many: one stays in one's own cultural area, sometimes even in one's own language area, which can only facilitate integration into society. In this way, a clash of cultures, customs and habits is avoided as much as possible - which is only positive for both the refugee and the host nation or region."
