Resume: In an executive order earlier this month, President Joe Biden ordered a report into “climate change and its impact on migration, including forced migration, internal displacement, and planned relocation,” including “options for protection and resettlement of individuals displaced directly or indirectly from climate change.”
The order links some of the main challenges that he faces as president – the continued arrival of migrants and asylum seekers at the southern border, re-building the refugee program that the Trump administration dismantled, and addressing the far-reaching impacts of the climate crisis.
