Critical review of climate change induced migration: An emerging challenge for contemporary society
Journal Contribution - Journal Article
Daily life of everyone is affected by the anthropogenic climate change. Nowadays, severe weather phenomena are more frequent and their
catastrophes more intense. Even mild temperature and precipitation changes require governments to receive additional measures to safeguard the well-being of their citizens. Unfortunately, not all state actors have the capability to adequately respond, leaving the burden to cope to the local population. This creates tensions and if the resources are not sufficient to cover people’s needs, they tend to
migrate. Climate change is becoming an issue of paramount importance, as an underlaying or prominent factor for migration. This manuscript reviews the available bibliography on the subject. The chosen bibliography encompasses a combination of academic work and reports by international organisations.
