Climate Refugees
Climate refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their home as a result of the effects of climate change on their environment. It can be sudden or long-term changes. Such changes are held to include increased droughts, desertification, sea level rise, and disruption of seasonal weather patterns. Due to that reasons climate refugees may choose to migrate to either within their country or abroad. The International Organization for Migration has proposed three types of environmental refugees. They are, 1. Environmental emergency refugees: people who flee temporarily due to an environmental disaster. (Tsunami) 2. Environmental forced refugees: people who have to leave due to deteriorating environmental conditions. (Deforestation) 3. Environmental motivated refugees: people who choose to leave to avoid possible future problems. In 2018 alone, 17.2 million new displacements associated with disasters in 148 countries and territories were recorded (IDMC) and 764,000 people in Somalia
