Abstract Scientists predict ongoing global climate change to trigger adverse events affecting about 143 million people in the Global South by 2050, leading various forms of migration and mobility. While existing literature extensively examines climate-induced migration, there is a lack studies considering compounding impacts multiple hazards on mobility, immobility. To address this gap, we conducted systematic review explore how stressors, specifically rising temperatures, water stress droughts, floods sea-level rise, have affected populations South, voluntary and/or forced migration. Our findings show that these stressors displaced profoundly impacted millions people, resulting both internal transboundary Climate-induced often through indirect pathways influenced intervening institutional, political, socio-economic factors programmatic policy gaps. Effectively addressing challenges related necessitates adaptation strategies adequately consider while recognizing their differential effects socio-demographic groups. We argue support from North countries, including compensation for loss damage, along with continued institutional financial international non-governmental organizations, crucial managing South. Without proper planning adequate resources, may escalate significantly impact human security. The study can inform policies assist experts identifying intervention mechanisms opportunities people-centered solutions.

Widespread media reports that climate change is driving international migration have led to an upsurge in research seeking verify this phenomenon. In a methodological review of research, we identified close 3,000 studies referring climate-induced emigration from Mesoamerica and West Africa found only 102 empirically evaluate the causal link. We analyze inference implications these studies’ characteristics how are shaped by conceptual framing, data sources, region.

These approaches neglect nexus surrounding migration, which involves many factors beyond attached weather but may co-vary certain instances. Such analyses prone spurious correlations fail address specifics who migrates face why.
