Abstract

The paper examined long-term climate change as it affects human mobility in the 21st Century. The poorest economies have experienced the hardest hit, thereby increasing global inequality and extreme poverty. Damages from climate change are expected to vary across and within countries according to proximity of seas and oceans, land topography, industry structure and initial temperature levels. The paper examined the significance of climate change on migration, damaged caused, modeling direct and indirect effect, globally inequality and extreme poverty. The paper discovered that as the impacts of climate change become more severe, people will be increasingly affected by “resources- constrained immobility”. The side effects of the menace has rendered many homeless, losing value in the society and no longer able to fetch for the family, now living at the mercies of government intervention or non-governmental organizations. It further discovered that regardless of whether damages are proportional, independent of, or inversely proportional to income, the poorest people will see the greatest damages as a result of climate change. Climate change causes includes Natural and Man- Made causes. It was discovered among others that there are various ways of measuring climate change such as Surface temperature, Sea Level Rise and Parts per Million of Greenhouse Gases. Findings were discussed and few recommendations were made which include electing people at every level of government who are committed to passing laws and enacting policies that defeat climate change and reducing the amount of single-use, disposable plastic items, including bags, plastic bottles, polythene
