South Asian countries are particularly vulnerable to climate change, a region particularly vulnerable to climate hazards, and where people rely heavily on livelihoods sensitive to the environment, such as agriculture or fishing, which can constantly lead to a risk in the decline of living standards.
As such, climate threats promote inequality among people and destroy assets and infrastructure.
Following this evidence, this study’s primary goal is to investigate the different aspects and severity of vulnerabilities brought on by displacement and migration brought on by climate change in South Asia.
The themes covered are, in general, rapid urbanisation and the resulting hardships; health-related vulnerabilities; job and livelihood uncertainties; conflicts, security, and human rights issues; and effects on women, children, and older people.
It concludes with policy recommendations, at least for South Asian countries, deemed essential but still lacking implementation, to save people from future danger.
