Climate Refugee

Climate refugees, also known as environmental or climate migrants, are individuals or communities who are forced to leave their homes due to the sudden or gradual adverse effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, droughts, or environmental degradation. Climate refugees face significant social, economic, and political challenges, as they often lack legal recognition and protection under international law. Addressing the needs and rights of climate refugees is a growing concern in global climate and migration policy debates.
