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.

Impact of climatic variabilities and extreme incidences on the physical environment, public health, and people’s livelihoods in Ethiopia

Frontiers in Climate, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 6

Ethiopia’s vulnerability to climate change is exacerbated by high poverty rates, rapid population growth, increasing prevalence of vector-borne diseases, and heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture. This narrative review aims compile existing data the impacts extremes physical environment, public health, livelihoods in Ethiopia, thereby highlighting significance this region for such a study. Data were sourced from peer-reviewed journal articles databases like PubMed, Scopus, Web Science, as well reports other unpublished documents. Results show that Ethiopia facing frequency, severity, duration, timing climate-related extreme events. Key challenges include environmental degradation, reduced crop yields, recurring floods, droughts, famines, increased heat waves, spread infectious diseases. Average daily rainfall projected decrease 2.04 mm (1961–1990) 1.97 (2070–2099), indicating worsening trend. Moreover, average annual temperature has risen 1.3°C since 1960, at rate 0.28°C per decade. Flood records indicate sharp rise, with 274 flood incidents recorded 2020, causing extensive damage, including an soil loss 1 billion tons Ethiopian highlands, reducing land productivity 2.2% annually. Droughts 1964 2023 affected 96.5 million people, GDP 4%, decreased agricultural output 12%, inflation rates 15%. The regions Afar, Somali, Gambella, Benshangul Gumuz exhibit health due rising temperatures. Addressing critical mitigate their adverse effects livelihoods.

Investigating the Validity of Climate Migration: Empirical Evidence from the Most Polluted Countries

World Journal of Applied Economics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(1), С. 29 - 41

Опубликована: Июнь 13, 2024

The literature generally finds that lower air quality has been an important determinant of migration. This study builds a migration model employing annual data from 2010 to 2019 for the most polluted ten countries test validity caused by pollution through PM2.5 concentration. Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood method results show is one significant determinants countries. Moreover, low income level also pushes people migrate more their origin regions than richer ones. provides some policy recommendations policy-makers in where breathe air: (i) governments should follow growth-promoting economic policies; (ii) environment-friendly production techniques be implemented prevent worsening environmental quality; (iii) climate-induced mass considered while making security arrangements.
