Climate refugees

Jan 12, 2024 | Adaptation, Climate Crisis

See the areas marked in black on the map above?

These are areas where the mean annual temperatures (MATs) are above 29°C

See the brown shaded areas? MATs > 29°C are projected to occur throughout these areas by 2070.

This will impact 3.5 billion people.

The migration this will unleash and the resulting climate refugees will be nothing short of catastrophic!
