NEW DELHI: More than 62 million people in South Asia, including over 45 million in India alone, will be forced to migrate from their homes due to climate disasters by 2050 in a business-as-usual scenario, said a new research study, released on the occasion of the International Migrants Day on Friday. In the case of India, the level of migration will, in fact, be more than three times in the next 30 years from the 2020 level.
“This (62 million) is almost as many people as are forced from their homes globally due to war and conflict, raising the alarm that climate can no longer be overlooked as a major factor driving displacement,” said the study.
