The environmental impacts of climate change are felt unevenly in communities around the world. Geographic location, resource dependency and population characteristics can all impact of the vulnerability of communities to environmental change. In extreme scenarios, it has been argued that entire populations may be displaced by the impacts of sea-level rise, threatening their livelihoods and ultimately the security of the nation-state. It is anticipated that environmentally driven population movement will increase with climate change, resulting in pressures elsewhere in the world as populations seek to migrate and settle. It is not just environmental changes associated with climate change that can shape population migration. Rapid onset natural hazards, such as earthquakes or tsunamis can also influence population migration decisions. These pressures raise questions about how migration patterns will change in the future.
In this assignment you will use two examples of countries/ regions experiencing environmentally driven migration to discuss the drivers and complexities that influence population movements in relation to environmental change. You will also consider why definitions of migration are considered important.
Assignment details
1. Using two examples of countries or regions where communities are moving, or may move, due to environmental change, outline why environmental change is identified as being a threat to some communities and a current or future driver of migration.

2. Discuss why it can be difficult to solely attribute environmental factors as causes of migration and consider the importance of other factors, such as political and economic drivers, in influencing migration decisions. Use your examples to support your discussion. (approx. 250 words)
3. Discuss why the term ‘climate refugee’ is considered problematic by some agencies and identify why other terms are preferred. Reflect whether the issue of environmentally driven migration should be considered a global or a regional issue.
