Climate change, food insecurity and human mobility: Interlinkages, evidence and action

Climate change is widely considered an “existential threat to humanity”, in the words of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. Its impacts are being increasingly felt, albeit unevenly, by communities and countries worldwide. In recent years, different editions of the World Migration Report have explored the linkages between human mobility, the environment and climate change, accompanying the growth in scientific literature devoted to this topic, with specific focuses on migration as adaptation, and on the links between slow-onset climate change and migration.
