“…3 The World Bank predicts internal climate migrants may total 216 million by 2050. 4 Intensified and frequent extreme weather events can halt or hinder access to, availability, and quality of care for patients and providers, which can result in substantial resource losses (ie, financial, human, material) for health systems. Forest fires can lead to facility destruction or extended closure for cleanup.…”

“…New terms, such as 'environmental mobility' or 'environmental movements', have been coined to describe these rising trends (Rigaud et al 2018). Global forecasts suggest the likelihood of 150-200 million 'environmental migrants' by 2050 (Clement et al 2021;Cundill et al 2021). The scale of the issue is both vast and urgent and represents a clear human predicament and sustainability challenge, in what is progressively being framed as the 'environmental migration-development nexus' .…”

“…internal or international), and choice (e.g. voluntary or forced) (Waldinger 2015;Rigaud et al 2018;Clement et al 2021). Migration is likewise a networked phenomenon, in which individuals, households, and groups are situated within 'plural social networks' that influence their ability to cope and adapt (Bilecen and Lubbers 2021).…”

Exploring the benefits and dis-benefits of climate migration as an adaptive strategy along the rural-peri-urban continuum in Namibia

et al. 2022

The scale of climate migration across the Global South is expected to increase during this century. By 2050, millions of Africans are likely to consider, or be pushed into, migration because of climate hazards contributing to agricultural disruption, water and food scarcity, desertification, flooding, drought, coastal erosion, and heat waves. However, the migration-climate nexus is complex, as is the question of whether migration can be considered a climate change adaptation strategy across both the rural and urban space. Combining data from household surveys, key informant interviews, and secondary sources related to regional disaster, demographic, resource, and economic trends between 1990 and 2020 from north central and central dryland Namibia, we investigate (i) human migration flows and the influence of climate hazards on these flows and (ii) the benefits and dis-benefits of migration in supporting climate change adaptation, from the perspective of migrants (personal factors and intervening obstacles), areas of origin, and areas of destination. Our analysis suggests an increase in climate-related push factors that could be driving rural out-migration from the north central region to peri-urban settlements in the central region of the country. While push factors play a role in rural-urban migration, there are also several pull factors (many of which have been long-term drivers of urban migration) such as perceived higher wages, diversity of livelihoods, water, health and energy provisioning, remittances, better education opportunities, and the exchange of non-marketed products. Migration to peri-urban settlements can reduce some risks (e.g. loss of crops and income due to climate extremes) but amplify others (e.g. heat stress and insecure land tenure). Adaptation at both ends of the rural–urban continuum is supported by deeply embedded linkages in a model of circular rural–urban-rural migration and interdependencies. Results empirically inform current and future policy debates around climate mobilities in Namibia, with wider implications across Africa. Graphical abstract

“…While we continue to think about ways to support pregnant and postpartum women toward holistic mental health and optimal daily functioning, there is a looming threat (risk factor) on the horizon and its name is the climate crisis ( 5 ). In fact, the World Bank recently issued a report estimating that more then 200 million people are likely to be displaced due to climate change/extreme weather events (EWEs) over the next 30 years ( 19 ). We also know that women and children are vulnerable subgroups and are disproportionately affected ( 20 ).…”
