Expected impacts of Anthropogenic climate change and potential associations with future population & migration

"Climate-related exposures most commonly associated with migration fall into two general categories: sudden-onset events and slow-onset changes in environmental conditions. Sudden-onset events take place over short periods of time and include such phenomena as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires and extreme wind, rain or snow events. Sudden-onset events have the potential to cause considerable damage to infrastructure and property, as well as resulting in loss of life, and are therefore often associated with distress migration. In these cases, exposed populations may attempt to flee before the event occurs or evacuate during or after the event. Conversely, slow-onset changes in conditions, such as droughts, land degradation, or oscillations in precipitation patterns, typically do not stimulate permanent relocation as a first-order household adaptation. They may, however, stimulate changes in temporary migration as a short-term adaptation." (Mcleman &
