Climate change, food security, and migration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a relationship between climate change, food security, and migration.[1] Climate change's effects on the processing, storage, transportation, and consumption of food as well as on agriculture will diminish food security. Climate change threatens food access and utilization separately as well as the stability of each.[2] The intersection of climate change and food insecurity with ongoing trends in migration is expected to exacerbate these issues.[3] Among the many drivers of migration from rural areas to more populated ones is diminishing food security caused by climate change.[1] Conflict resulting from climate change-induced food insecurity can influence migration.[3] Climate change and food insecurity affect different demographics in various ways. The increase in climate-induced migration has led to the consideration of policy changes surrounding migration.[4] Several organizations including The World Bank, The World Food Program, and The World Wildlife Fund are working to address the concerns at the intersection of these three issues.[5][6][7]
