A new Biden administration report paints a grim picture of the climate change future in which “tens of millions” of people are “likely to be displaced over the next two to three decades” because of the effects of rising global temperatures.
“Policy and programming efforts made today and in coming years will impact estimates of people moving due to climate-related factors,” the report said, which compiled the recommendations of federal agencies at the president's request. “Tens of millions of people, however, are likely to be displaced over the next two to three decades due in large measure to climate change impacts.
“We are looking at extensive storm damage because of extreme climate, we’re looking at drought in an area in a region where agriculture is one of the most traditionally important basis for their economy, we’re looking at what’s happening in terms of food scarcity as a result of that and, in fact, incredible food insecurity, which we used to call hunger food insecurity,” she said.The Biden administration continues to grapple with how to handle a surge of migrants across the U.S.
“When migration presents as the preferable form of adaptation, or in situations when people are forced to flee the impacts of climate change, the United States has a compelling national interest in strengthening global protection for these displaced individuals and groups,” the report states.
