Climate Migration and Loss and Damage ft Gabriela - E4

Climate Migration and Loss and Damage ft Gabriela - E4

Climate migration is the movement of people from one area to another due to impacts related to environmental change and climate change such as drought, and storms.

Climate migrants are individuals who are forced to leave their usual homes or choose to do so, either temporarily or permanently, and who move either within their country or abroad, typically due to environmental factors that adversely affect their lives or living conditions. Currently, there are no laws in place that protect them as they are not even legally recognized. They have no legal recourse when disaster strikes.
