Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it’s already displacing people, and by 2050, over 140 million people could be forced to migrate within their own countries due to slow-onset climate impacts like drought, sea-level rise, and crop failure. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be a crisis. Proper planning can turn this challenge into an opportunity for growth and economic stability.
The World Bank recently highlighted the urgency of addressing climate migration and the importance of planning for internal migration, especially in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. Migration is often driven by those most vulnerable to climate change—people who have contributed the least to global warming. It’s essential that developed countries step up to support these nations through both emission reduction efforts and funding to help with migration planning.
With smart planning, climate migration can create new economic opportunities, improving livelihoods for people who may otherwise be forced to live in increasingly unstable environments.
But this planning needs to start now! By fostering sustainable practices, investing in less climate-sensitive industries, and strengthening economies, countries can help communities adapt before migration becomes unavoidable.
At PROSDOMA, we are committed to supporting communities through sustainable development and advocating for climate action. We’re dedicated to helping newcomers to Canada integrate into society and build strong, resilient communities, while also addressing global challenges such as climate change. 
It’s time to plan, take action, and ensure a sustainable future for all.
