Climate Displacement

Climate displacement refers to the forced movement of people from their homes due to the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, severe storms, droughts, and desertification. These environmental changes can threaten safety, livelihoods, and access to basic resources like water and food, making it impossible for communities to remain in their original locations. Climate displacement often results in migration to safer areas, creating social, economic, and political challenges for both displaced individuals and host communities. It highlights the urgent need for adaptation strategies and policies to address the growing impacts of climate change on human populations.
