Climate refugees
A climate refugee is someone who had to leave their home country because of it being uninhabitable due to climate change.
There aren't very many climate refugees as of present (2024), [QUANTIFICATION needed] but there could be hundreds of millions in the future if climate change continues to worsen.
- Hot-weather countries may become too hot to live in.
- Coastal regions would be flooded if ocean levels rise.
- Some places may experience too many extreme weather events.
Canada might be a good place for climate refugees to settle in the future, as there are currently vast areas of almost-uninhabited land in the north (extremely cold, but would become warmer with climate change). And it would be fair because Canada's carbon emissions, per capita, have been 3 times higher than the rest of the world. [1]
