Un informe de IMUMI y UC Berkeley muestra cómo el cambio climático agrava la violencia y el desplazamiento de mujeres en Centroamérica.

This report, undertaken by Helen Kerwin, Clinical Supervising Attorney, in partnership with the Institute for Women in Migration (IMUMI), examines how climate-related harms intersect with and exacerbate violence, exclusion, discrimination, and weak state protection to drive migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Drawing on interviews, desk research, and surveys with people on the move in Mexico, the study shows that climate change rarely operates as a single cause of displacement. Instead, migrants consistently describe how environmental shocks—such as droughts that destroy crops, storms that damage homes and livelihoods, and deforestation and extreme heat that undermine health and economic stability—exacerbate existing insecurity and hardship. This study centers Mexico as both a transit and destination country for Central American migrants impacted by these dynamics. The findings demonstrate that better understanding how climate change intensifies vulnerabilities to violence, insecurity, and loss of livelihood—and integrating that analysis into refugee and immigration representation and adjudication— can improve access to protection and to regular migration status under Mexico’s existing legal framework. The report also offers specific recommendations to strengthen institutional responses to climate migration by the Mexican government and civil society actors to climate migration. ## Report * Executive Summary * Full Report * Executive Summary (Spanish) * Full Report (Spanish Coming Soon)
