Climate migration is a subset of climate-related mobility that refers to movement driven by the impact of sudden or gradual climate-exacerbated disasters, such as "abnormally heavy rainfalls, prolonged droughts, desertification, environmental degradation, or sea-level rise and cyclones". [1]
Assisted migration is the movement of populations or species by humans from one territory to another in response to climate change. This is the definition offered in a nontechnical document published by the United States Forest Service in 2023, suggesting that this form of climate adaptation "could be a proactive, pragmatic tool for building ...
Climate migration is the displacement of people both internally within countries or internationally due to climate-related disasters, which include both rapid and slow onset events. Slow onset events describe natural disasters that are exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change and occur over several years or decades. [1]
Climate migration; Effects of climate change; Forced displacement – Coerced movement of a person or persons away from their home or home region; List of areas depopulated due to climate change – Impacted settlements resulting in climate migration; Managed retreat – The purposeful, coordinated movement of people and buildings away from risks
The future of plant migrations has proven to be hard to predict. The many unknowns about the limits of population migration, phenotypic plasticity, genetic capacity, species interaction, and current climate change cause have complicated the issue, and have made modeling, at this point, difficult.
Climate change is driving extreme weather By all accounts, the last few years have been brutal for the climate — and for the humans and other living things within it. Around the globe, heat ...
Climate change has been linked to human migration from as early as the end of the Pleistocene to the early twenty-first century. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] The effect of climate on available resources and living conditions such as food, water, and temperature drove the movement of populations and determined the ability for groups to begin a system of ...
Coastal erosion and rising sea levels caused by climate change have threatened coastal communities. [149] For example, reports suggest that melting permafrost, repeated storms, and decrease of land could make Kivalina unlivable by 2025, [150] though some residents do not have the enough money to relocate.
