The interplay between migration, climate change, energy transitions, and socioeconomic inequality are examined in this paper, highlighting their influence on regional resilience and sustainable development.
Through an analysis of existing literature, it investigates how migration is shaped by environmental stress, energy challenges, and economic inequalities, emphasizing the dual role of migration as both a response to and a driver of climate change.
Additionally, it analyzes the relationship between energy systems and migration, focusing on how energy access, transitions, and sustainability efforts influence socioeconomic conditions, particularly in vulnerable regions. Key gaps are also identified in the literature, especially concerning the social and economic impacts of these interconnected processes.
Results suggest that energy transitions can either reduce or intensify regional inequalities and shape resilience to climate-induced migration.
The authors conclude by advocating for a more integrated policy and research agenda that links climate migration, energy security, and socioeconomic equity.
