Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue – it’s also a driving force behind one of the largest human migrations in history. As our planet warms, more communities are being forced to relocate due to the environmental impacts of climate change. From rising sea levels to extreme weather events, these shifts are transforming human geography across the globe.
In a recent study by RAND, policies from six countries – Bangladesh, Kiribati, Kenya, Norway, the United States, and Vanuatu – were analyzed to understand how nations are preparing for and responding to climate migration. With different levels of impact and urgency, these countries have developed unique strategies to address the growing crisis of climate-induced displacement.
Some countries focus on helping migrants through social protection programs, while others prioritize building resilience in communities that will become new population centers. The research suggests that climate migration should not be treated as a separate issue but as an integrated part of broader public policy, touching on everything from social services to security.
As the effects of climate change intensify, it’s crucial to find solutions that support both climate migrants and host communities.
At PROSDOMA, we believe in creating sustainable futures for both newcomers and local communities. Let’s work together for a resilient, inclusive, and climate-conscious future.
