Climate Change and Migration

Climate change refers to significant alterations in global weather patterns due to rising greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from human activities. As temperatures climb, extreme weather events like floods, droughts, and heatwaves become more frequent. These changes can disrupt livelihoods, especially in vulnerable regions reliant on agriculture or natural resources. Consequently, many people are forced to leave their homes in search of safer living conditions and better opportunities, leading to increased migration. This phenomenon highlights the interconnectedness of climate issues and human mobility, as communities adapt to new environmental realities.
