	Description:		From floods in Pakistan to droughts in the Horn of Africa, extreme weather events are already forcing millions of people to move. Most are displaced within their own countries but rising temperatures and sea levels could soon push many across national borders. Yet international law offers little protection for those uprooted by the changing climate, and few countries appear ready for the scale of movement predicted in coming decades. Charmaine Cozier explores how communities, governments and international systems could respond as the number of people displaced by climate change grows. This week on The Inquiry, we’re asking: Is the world ready for more climate migration?
