Climmigration or Climigration ?
The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway
The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

Climmigration or Climigration ?
When roads, schools, and elements of the built environment that bind societies and economies are compromised by sea level rise, "the isolation will disconnect people and place in a manner that is likely to drive significant climigration. This is true even for those living on high ground."

Extreme weather, rising sea levels, and resource scarcity will reportedly drive 216 million people to seek refuge by 2050. There’s even a buzzword for it: “climigration.” We spoke with Daniel Briggs and Michael Goodhart to discuss this phenomenon.
