Climate-Induced Migration in the Global South: an in Depth Analysis

Climate-induced migration in the Global South: an in depth analysis

Scientists predict ongoing global climate change to trigger adverse events affecting about 143 million people in the Global South by 2050, leading to various forms of migration and mobility. While existing literature extensively examines climate-induced migration, there is a lack of studies considering the compounding impacts of multiple climate hazards on migration, mobility, and immobility. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic litera…

Extreme events such as searing heatwaves and relentless floods fuel a vicious cycle of deepening poverty and escalating vulnerability to climate impacts. Investing in adaptation and resilience enables nations and communities to prepare, recover, and bui…
