Across the globe, the effects of climate change-related disasters are exacerbating humanitarian crises, widening inequality, and driving vulnerable populations to move. Most climate disasters will displace vulnerable people within their own borders, but a small minority of populations – representing millions of individuals – will be unable to find durable solutions locally and will seek safety and livelihood across international borders. To meet this challenge, we have the opportunity to craft lasting protections for those displaced across borders and equity-focused policies to help long-standing communities adapt their lives and livelihoods to a changing climate.
