Climate Migrants: On the Move in a Warming World

About this book

Around the world from US coastal towns to island nations of the Pacific and the deserts of Africa people are in danger of losing their homes. Some have already fled. Others know they are running out of time. By 2050 at least 25 million people will be driven from their homes due to the effects of climate change. Rising sea levels melting permafrost and severe storms are drastically redefining the planets landscape and leaving many places unable to support human populations. For many people relocation is already a reality. How they adjust to their new homes and how their new communities adjust to them will set the stage for a future defined by a warming planet.
