Without immediate action to combat climate change, rising sea levels, water scarcity and declining crop productivity could force 216,000,000 people to migrate within their own countries by 2050, the World Bank says in a new report.
The migration would be largely within countries where rising sea levels, water scarcity and declining crop productivity would lead to stress on cities and urban centers areas.
The report, Groundswell 2.0, modeled the impacts of climate change on six regions, concluding that climate migration “hotspots” will emerge as soon as 2030 and intensify by 2050, hitting the poorest parts of the world hardest. Such movements will put significant stress on both sending and receiving areas, straining cities and urban centers and jeopardizing development gains, the report said.For instance, sea-level rise threatens rice production, aquaculture and fisheries, which could create an out-migration hotspot in Vietnam’s low-lying Mekong Delta. But the Red River Delta and central coast region, where those people are likely to flee, face their own threats, including severe storms.
