Everybody who is passionate about mountaineering knows about Pakistan, which is home to five of the 14 tallest peaks on the planet. At the same time Pakistan is also a country characterized by sustained population growth and migration outflows. In this short article, we bring the example of Pakistan to elaborate on the issue of climate migration.
However, the people of Pakistan are not alone in this climate vulnerability. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , 3.3 - 3.6 billion people across the world live in contexts that render them highly vulnerable to climate change. People living in regions like West-, Central-, and East-Africa, South Asia, Central and South America, Small Island Developing States, and the Arctic are particularly susceptible to climate hazards.
Contrary to the concerns of many in the West, the Global Trends 2021 Report of the UNHCR—the UN Refugee Agency—shows that almost 60% of the 89.3 million people forcibly displaced migrated to places within their country. Of those that left the country, 72% were hosted in countries neighboring their country of origin.
