Climate change is not only about melting ice caps or rising sea levels—it’s also about people.
Every year, millions are forced to leave their homes because of floods, droughts, heatwaves, and storms. This global movement, known as climate migration, is not straightforward. Most people don’t cross borders or leave permanently. They try to stay, rebuild, and survive where they are.
In fact, in 2022 alone:
- 32.6 million people were displaced by disasters.
- 3.4 million were displaced in the U.S.—but most returned home within a year.
- The UN predicts a 30% increase in droughts and 40% rise in disasters by 2030.
But here’s the challenge: climate migration isn’t always visible. People move due to a mix of reasons—economic hardship, lack of food, safety concerns—and climate change silently worsens all of them.
At PROSDOMA, we recognize the human face of climate change. That’s why we advocate for solutions that help people stay in place through sustainable practices 
and, when needed, support their safe relocation and integration into new communities—right here in Alberta and beyond.
Let’s be informed. Let’s be compassionate. Let’s be prepared.
Join PROSDOMA in building a future where everyone has the right to a safe and sustainable home—no matter where they come from.
