Introduction

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges faced by humans, driving
widespread environmental disruptions that force millions of people to migrate in search of
safety and stability. Rising global temperatures, extreme weather events such as hurricanes,
droughts, and floods, as well as resource shortages, are significantly making some regions
unhabitable . These changes are displacing entire communities, leading to both internal
migrations within countries and cross-border movements that reshape demographic
patterns worldwide.

This issue is particularly urgent as climate-induced migration threatens not only individual
livelihoods but also national economies, social structures, and international stability. When
populations are forced to leave their homes due to environmental degradation, they often
face challenges such as loss of income, food insecurity, and lack of access to basic services.
Furthermore, mass displacement puts significant strain on host regions and countries,
leading to competition over limited resources, potential conflicts, and complex geopolitical
tensions. Vulnerable populations, particularly those in low-lying coastal areas, drought-
prone regions, and small island nations, are at the greatest risk, as they often lack the
financial and infrastructural capacity to adapt to these environmental shifts.

Given the scale of the problem, global cooperation is essential to develop sustainable
solutions that address both the root causes of climate change and the needs of displaced
communities. Governments, international organizations, and environmental agencies must
work together to implement policies that enhance climate resilience, improve disaster
preparedness, and support affected populations. Investment in sustainable development,
adaptation strategies, and humanitarian aid will be critical in mitigating the adverse effects
of climate-induced migration.

This report aims to explore the complex relationship between climate change and migration
by identifying the key environmental drivers of displacement, assessing the socio-economic
impacts on both migrants and host communities, and examining policy responses designed
to manage and mitigate these challenges. By analysing real-world case studies and
evaluating international efforts, this report seeks to highlight the urgent need for proactive
measures to support climate migrants and ensure a more sustainable and equitable future
for all.
