In Canada, the impact of climate change on internal migration has received limited attention, but it is a growing concern. In this video, Yvonne Su and Geneviève Minville explores how climate change affects mobility within Canada, focusing on factors influencing movement, the disproportionate impact on Indigenous communities, and gaps in research. Part of the pedagogical video series produced by the Collaboratory on Forced Migration in Canada, led by uOttawa Professor Christina Clark-Kazak, this video provides invaluable analysis of current challenges and recommendations for addressing climate-induced migration in Canada.
