| Title | Enhancing the resilience to climate change of migrants and vulnerable households in India |
|---|---|
| Introduction | In India, in recent years, record high temperatures and volatile cycles of drought and flooding have destabilized crops, putting millions at risk. Many are compelled to leave rural areas in search of better opportunities. To address these issues, it is imperative to ensure that migration is a well-informed decision that benefits everyone involved. This means developing livelihood strategies for those who choose to stay, those on the move, and those returning to their rural roots. |
