Extreme Climate Change

climate change: The unique study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives urges Ottawa to formulate policies that would suspend deportations of arrived migrants whose homeland is affected by climate change, grant resident status to climate migrants on humanitarian grounds, and permit them to enter Canada under refugee resettlement programs, according to The Star. Greater support and certainty would be provided if Canada created a new immigration class of climate migrants along with targets and programs to ensure Canada absorbs its fair share of those migrants. A potentially larger challenge is rallying public opinion and support for those climate migrants and The federal government should create a new climate migrants immigration class to better prepare for the inflow of people fleeing extreme climate change , says a new Canadian report. In the coming years, climate change will compel hundreds of millions of people to relocate and . . . many forced migrants will remain in nearby poor regions in the Global South, says the study, to be released Wednesday.
