Environmental causes for migration are not new, but as climate change and extreme weather events increase in frequency and intensity, domestic and international displacement will continue to rise. The World Bank has predicted as a worst-case scenario that up to 216 million people could become internally displaced by 2050, but if concrete steps are taken now, that could be reduced by 80 percent.
Join the World Affairs Council for a virtual program on December 11 as we discuss with Kanta Kumari Riguard, Lead Environmental Specialist at the World Bank, and Mariam Traore Chazalnoel, Acting Chief of the Climate Action Unit at the International Organization for Migration, on what current trends on climate-related migration and displacement look like and the global implications.
