The United States, along with other places in the world, is experiencing extreme weather events that are destroying communities and ecosystems. People can often return and rebuild in that area, but many times, people cannot return and readapt to what was once their home. In poorer countries, especially close to the equator, the situation is much worse. Now, many people cannot return, so they have to move. Experts say that in 2023, the issue will be impossible to ignore.

This climate displacement is already becoming a global issue. Wired reported that in 2022, the number of people who were forcibly displaced exceeded 100 million for the first time. More people were displaced due to climate exchange than conflicts. The outlet reported that for every one degree of temperature rise, a billion people will be displaced.

The issue of climate migration will definitely be a hot topic at the next COP 28 in 2023, but we need to begin discussing this now and come up with real solutions for this pressing matter. We need to be prepared for mass climate migration.

Sign this petition to demand that U.S. legislators come together to unanimously Support a Green New Deal so that we can finally address the climate crisis.
