MIGRATION IN THE AMERICAS
People move for different reasons: conflict and violence, crisis and emergencies, persecution, human rights violations, poverty, joblessness, hopelessness, a lack of basic services or food insecurity. Extreme weather events displace millions from their homes each year and an increasing number of people are escaping the impacts of climate change. The most vulnerable are often fleeing a combination of these factors. For many, they are simply seeking a better or safer life.
