Climate Change

In this chapter, we examine how climate change also results in climate refugees, who are people or communities that have been compelled to abandon their homes because of the negative effects of climate change. Increasing sea levels, droughts, severe weather, or other environmental problems that render their territories inhabitable compel people to flee their homes. The necessity for international collaboration and legal structures to protect and help person affected by climate-induced displacement is highlighted by climate refugees. Therefore, the effects of climate change on food security, agriculture, health, and sociocultural dynamics are extensive. For the purpose of reducing the negative effects of climate change and guaranteeing a sustainable and fair future for all, it is crucial to recognize and solve these interconnected concerns. For the sake of conciseness, the following three major conceptualizations are just briefly discussed in this chapter: (1) global climate change and food security, (2) African climate change and health, and (3) sociocultural impacts of climate change and climate refugees. Before doing all this, however, we state a caveat based on the aforementioned negative aspects of climate change.
