One of the worst forecasts made by the World Bank suggests that over the next three decades, climate change will force more than 143 million people to seek refuge in the three most populated areas of the world. This will create the basis for the “human crisis”.
In which regions does climate migration flourish
At this stage, this is just a forecast based on models that take into account demographic, socio-economic and climate data. However, without specific actions aimed at solving climate problems, it can become a reality. This is discussed in the report “Preparing for Internal Climate Migration” for 2018.
In particular, in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and South Asia, tens of millions of people are forced to relocate, as many regions are becoming uninhabitable due to growing problems associated with climate change, such as lack of water, crop failure, increasing sea level and storm surges. The problem is that more than half the population of the developing world lives in these areas.
Forecasts for the next 30 years
Scientists predict that by 2050, 86 million people from sub-Saharan Africa will be forced to move due to crop failure if their governments do not move to a more diversified and climate-resilient economy. South Asia could face 40 million climate refugees, while Latin America could face 17 million.

In general, these “climate migrants” join the millions of people who are now forced to leave their homes for social, political, economic or other reasons.
We now have little time to set the stage for a new reality before the effects of climate change begin to worsen, said Kristalina Georgieva, World Bank Executive Director. If cities now begin to take steps to cope with the increase in the number of people coming from rural areas and give them opportunities for education, training and work, they will bring long-term dividends.
It is also important to help people make the right decision about whether they should stay where they previously lived or move to new places where they will be less vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
