Author(s): Mr. Sachin AzadAbstract
This paper explores the complex relationship between climate change migration and social justice with a focus on the evolving global context up to 2025. Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century displacing millions of people through rising sea levels extreme weather events and ecological degradation. Migration both internal and cross-border has become an inevitable outcome of environmental disruptions reshaping demographics economies and cultural landscapes. The paper examines how climate-induced migration intersects with issues of inequality human rights and justice particularly for vulnerable populations in emerging economies such as India Bangladesh and sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on recent research policy documents and international frameworks the study argues that climate migration is not only an environmental issue but also a question of social justice. Addressing it requires comprehensive strategies that integrate climate adaptation inclusive development and rights-based approaches to ensure dignity and security for displaced populations.
