Climate Change and mobility

However, displacement is simply one type of human movement connected to the effects of climate change. The way that people live their lives is also impacted by climate change, particularly if those ways of life depend on natural resources. With soil salinization and degradation, irregular rainfall, droughts, rising temperatures, and the depletion of fish stocks and other biodiversity, fishing, farming, and pastoralism become more challenging.

Migration can provide a way out of poverty and food insecurity in nations whose economy are heavily dependent on natural resources. Despite this, it is more difficult to quantify these arguably more voluntary migration flows, especially in response to climate change's slow-onset effects. While we have numbers that account for disaster displacement. Since there is no agreed-upon definition of a "climate migrant," and because their migration is influenced by a variety of circumstances,exists, but they are frequently referred to as "economic migrants" and do not have access to mechanisms for humanitarian protection.
