Climate Change In The 21st Century: Climate Refugees

Climate change has proven to have an enormous impact on populations. Rapidly-emerging weather conditions have contributed to a mass displacement of people, commonly recognized as climate refugees. This is defined as people who have been forced to leave their homes due to the effects of climate change in their community and/or environment. Climate change impacts both direct and indirect livelihoods. It may also affect migration contributors or enablers and people’s natural, financial, and social resources. In the face of these environmental threats, people feel that they have no choice but to seek refuge elsewhere, whether in their own countries or beyond. The impacts of migration are often substantial, and must be carefully analyzed and handled within the context of development and adaptation.
