Why droughts, not economic struggles, could be the new reason for urban migration

A study analyzing internal migration patterns across 72 countries over 50 years highlights how droughts are emerging as a key driver of migration. As climate change worsens, rural populations, particularly in agricultural regions, are increasingly moving to urban areas. Researchers emphasize the need for proactive strategies to address the root causes of climate-induced migration and improve urban infrastructure to cope with the influx of displaced populations.
