Climate poverty, a condition where individuals lack the resources to combat the adverse effects of climate change, is not solely about income levels but also about systemic barriers such as limited savings and inadequate infrastructure.
The aftermath of hurricanes like Dorian also forces us to confront the reality of climate migration.
Over the past decade, there has been a notable migration from the Family Islands to New Providence, driven by the increasing frequency and severity of hurricanes.
This migration underscores the intersectionality between hurricanes and climate poverty, emphasizing that climate change is as much a socio-economic concern as it is an environmental one.
