Climate change, migration, and displacement: Advancing a risk-informed approach for sustainable solutions

Climate change has become a crucial factor driving migration and human displacement. High temperatures lead to higher incidences of phenomena such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, and altered environmental conditions that threaten governance, human security, and sustainable development. This paper seeks to establish the intersections of climate change and migration vis-à-vis displacements and sociopolitical challenges to address them. The research methodology included a secondary research approach that began with a detailed search of relevant literature from databases such as Web of Science, JSTOR, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink. The paper establishes the importance of risk management in advancing climate justice, resilience, and migration policies with respect to sustainable development. The paper concludes with some policy recommendations aimed at promoting favorable strategies to address climate-driven migration and displacement.
