Global warming could result in extreme temperatures that pose significant risks to vulnerable regions, potentially triggering migrations and escalating conflicts.
The countries most susceptible to the impacts of global warming are primarily developing nations[1], especially those situated in regions like the Sahel[2] and the Middle East[3]. Furthermore, temperatures in tropical areas are rising at an accelerated rate[4], pushing these regions closer to the threshold of human habitability within the coming decades[5].
These nations frequently face challenges such as limited resources and political instability, which hinder their ability to swiftly adapt to climate change. As a result, their populations may be forced to migrate to cooler climates in northern countries.
