    Climate change is causing increasing rates of displacement worldwide. An average of 21.5 million people per year are forcibly displaced due to weather-related disasters like floods, storms and wildfires. By 2050, over 140 million people may become internally displaced within their own countries due to climate change impacts. In 2020 alone, 30 million people globally were displaced by extreme weather events, and this number is expected to rise as climate change intensifies threats. Low-lying island nations like Tuvalu face existential threats from sea level rise potentially displacing entire communities. Regional agreements offer potential solutions through frameworks for cooperation on climate-related migration challenges.

    Introduction to Climate Change and Migration
     Since 2008, an average of 21.5 million people yearly
    face forced displacement due to weather-related sudden
    onset hazards.

     Floods, storms, and hurricanes are among the most


    common climate-related disasters (Unhcr, 2023).

     Wildfires have become increasingly prevalent, with a


    13% rise in global wildfire activity (MacCarthy).

     Extreme temperatures contribute to displacement.

     By 2050, over 140 million people could be internally


    displaced due to climate change (World Bank, 2018).
    The Human Impact of Climate Change

     In 2020, extreme weather events displaced 30


    million people globally.
     The number of displaced individuals is anticipated to
    increase significantly as the threat of climate change
    intensifies.
     From Tuvalu, an island nation grappling with rising
    sea levels.
     The ocean poses a threat to their home and the
    survival of their entire community.
    Regional Agreements

    Regional treaties and agreements


    offer potential solutions
    The Pacific Islands Forum
    Framework for Resilient
    Development
    The agreements exemplify regional
    cooperation in addressing climate-
    related migration.
