Changing Climate, Changing Migration
The consequences of global climate change are affecting the way people live, work, and move around the planet. Events such as catastrophic storms, encroaching deserts, and rising seas are making some communities increasingly unlivable and posing challenges to livelihoods. There is no clear, direct line between the impacts of climate change and changing human movement. But there are indications that the warming planet is indirectly creating or altering patterns of migration. Our podcast Changing Climate, Changing Migration and related Migration Information Source special issue dive deep into the intersection of climate change and migration to separate fact from fiction and trace out the complicated ways in which climate change affects migrants, refugees, and communities—and their adaptations and other responses.
