| description |
Between its natural wealth with
diverse cultures, increasingly rapid urbanization, and some
of the world’s most impressive wildlife, Tanzania strikes
visitors as a country of diversity and dynamism. At the same
time, the country is facing challenges from climate change
that will put its people, policymakers, and ecosystems to a
test. Migration has long been a strategy of Tanzanians to
deal with adverse climatic conditions, but as this report
illustrates, climate change will put further pressure on
people to leave their homes and look for new opportunities
elsewhere within the country’s borders. This study shows
that Tanzania could see as many as 16.6 million internal
climate migrants by 2050. Immediate, rapid and aggressive
action on the cutting down emissions as a global community,
and pursuing inclusive resilient development at the national
level could bring down this scale of climate migration, on
average, by about 27 percent. |
