There is no doubt that climate change is reshaping our world; the World Bank predicted that by 2050, more than 140 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America will be displaced within their home countries due to climate change!
In this episode, Dr. Sarra Touzi tells us about how climate change contributes to and exacerbates factors in migration.
