Description of Climate Migration in Maggie Gee’s The Ice People

Abstract

As climate migrants leave their residences in order to cope with the climate crisis, new immigration laws are being proposed by global health organizations. Nevertheless, the questions of why residents treat climate migrants as aliens and what are the difficulties climate-migrants encounter. Researchers from a range of disciplines have been examining climate migration and its ramifications in the economy, civil and political systems of the countries, for the last two decades. According to the report of WHO in May 2022, the number of migrants is expected to increase due to environmental degradation and disasters. In their destination, climate migrants repeatedly encounter several issues, such as health care services, civil issues, and cultural hurdles. This article examines the complications and supports migrants in meeting their requirements.
