The migration phenomenon is not something new, it has always existed. However, it is now necessary to recognize climate change as a key factor in migratory movements.
During a press conference organized by Ethnic Media Services, specialists have noted that, in the past, it was more evident that migratory movements occurred between neighboring nations, however, currently it is observed that people move to more distant nations, and even cross continents. This change is caused by the climatic conditions that the planet faces.
Given the situation, it is necessary to prevent the abandonment of homes in countries most vulnerable to adverse weather conditions, considering legal mobility a priority when facing migration crises.
Susan Fratzke, a policy analyst with the Migration Policy Institute's International Program, expressed her concern for migrants, who are forced to leave their countries of origin in search of better living conditions and who, due to a lack of support to enter the country legally, put themselves in risky situations.
