International migration: foreign population by country Climate migration Some of the migration that takes place around the world currently is caused directly or indirectly by extreme weather phenomena resulting from climate change. These weather phenomena include droughts, hurricanes and floods. In 2020, natural disasters forced around 30 million people to abandon their homes and settle in other less affected areas of their own countries. This type of migration is known as climate migration. (15) The World Bank warns that by 2050, in the regions of sub-Saharan Africa , Southeast Asia and Latin America , there will be a total of 140 million internal migrants due to the effects of climate change.
