The Inconvenient Truth About ‘Climate Refugees’ – A Closer Look At The Data
What is a climate refugee?
A climate refugee is a person forced to leave their home or country due to the impact of climate change, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, droughts, or desertification.
These individuals are displaced because their livelihoods, homes, or lives are at risk due to the changing climate conditions. [emphasis, links added]
Climate refugees seek refuge or migrate to safer areas in order to secure their survival and well-being.
While the IPCC acknowledges that climate change can lead to human migration and displacement, the term “climate refugee” is not officially recognized or defined by the IPCC.
