Climate Change and Migration

28/1/2018

​In November 2015, the World Economic Forum drew attention to the effect of climate change on populations.  In an article by Cristina Cattaneo, and Giovanni Peri, new research has pointed out two effects on poor populations facing migration decisions due to declining incomes arising from climate change: 
Picture
​firstly, the extent of poverty may be such that people have no means to migrate elsewhere, and so become trapped in ever poorer circumstances; secondly, those who do have the means will be more likely to migrate to improve their situation, rather than to wait for circumstances to get better. This latter may influence those countries who wish to move from a rural to an urban economy for greater prosperity.  Migration as a solution to dire poverty is a problem which has to be faced across the world because of the effects of warming temperatures.
