Climate Migration

Climate change is a defining issue of our time. Global warming changes weather patterns, sea
levels, and resource availability, and with it where people can live. Climate migrants and climate
refugees will continue to grow in number as the changes to the environment render many
places inhospitable. By 2050, millions of people are expected to be displaced by climate-related
issues.
Climate change impacts the migratory pattern of people in two main ways. Firstly, people are
forced to leave an area due to climate change related effects that render their homes
inhabitable. For instance, consistent typhoons and the rising sea levels are making some islands
very difficult or impossible to live in. Secondly, migrants themselves are typically more
vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because they are forced into locations with poor
conditions. For example, migrants may be forced into floodplains or areas of desert rather than
more hospitable environments. To learn more about how climate change impacts migration

It is time to act beyond prevention, we must mitigate the impacts of climate change to ensure
the future for our world. One part of combatting climate change is by cleaning pollutants from
existing water resources to increase the available safe water supply and ensuring the proper
disposal of contaminants. IX Power Clean Water is making it possible for industries to affordably
treat and clean their wastewater so it can be reused in a sustainable, closed-loop system. Then,
industries don’t have to use our precious freshwater in their production processes. Find out
