What is climate migration?

Climate migration refers to the movement of people caused by changes in their environment due to climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, droughts, or floods. Individuals and communities may be forced to leave their homes temporarily or permanently when their livelihoods, safety, or well-being are threatened by climate-related impacts. Climate migration can happen within countries or across borders, and it poses significant social, economic, and legal challenges for both migrants and host communities.
