Environmental Refugees: Interactive Quiz to Test Your Knowledge of Climate Migration

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🌍 Environmental refugees, also known as climate refugees, are people forced to migrate due to sudden or gradual environmental changes.
• 🌊 These changes include sea-level rise, extreme weather events, droughts, and desertification.
• ⚠️ There is no internationally agreed-upon legal definition of "environmental refugee," which makes recognition and protection challenging.
• 📉 Climate migration can lead to resource scarcity, social unrest, and increased vulnerability for displaced populations.
• ⚖️ International law and policy are evolving to address the needs and rights of climate migrants.
• 🌱 Mitigation and adaptation strategies are crucial to reduce displacement caused by environmental factors.
• 🌡️ Rising global temperatures are a primary driver of climate migration, exacerbating existing environmental problems.
