Background of the study
Climate-induced migration is an emerging phenomenon that has far-reaching implications on livelihoods, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Aba South Local Government Area. Changing climatic conditions, including increased frequency of extreme weather events, have forced communities to relocate in search of better living conditions (Nkemdilim, 2023). The loss of traditional livelihoods and disruption of social networks have compounded the economic challenges faced by these migrants (Uchechi, 2024). Research has shown that climate-induced migration can lead to resource conflicts, urban overcrowding, and social tension as communities adjust to new environments (Chidimma, 2025). In Aba South, the displacement of populations has not only affected individual livelihoods but also altered the local socio-economic landscape. This study examines how climate-induced migration influences livelihood strategies and community resilience, emphasizing the need for adaptive policies that support both migrants and host communities. By analyzing the interplay between migration and economic stability, the research provides insights into developing sustainable interventions that can mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on livelihoods (Ifunanya, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Climate-induced migration in Aba South has disrupted traditional livelihoods and strained local resources, leading to increased socio-economic instability. Displaced populations struggle to integrate into new environments, while host communities face challenges in resource allocation and social cohesion. The current policy framework does not adequately address these challenges, necessitating urgent research into adaptive strategies that support both migrants and host communities (Chimamanda, 2024).
Objectives of the study
- To assess the impact of climate-induced migration on local livelihoods in Aba South.
- To evaluate the socio-economic challenges faced by migrants and host communities.
- To recommend adaptive strategies for mitigating livelihood disruptions.
Research questions
- How does climate-induced migration affect livelihoods in Aba South?
- What are the major socio-economic challenges resulting from migration?
- What adaptive strategies can support both migrants and host communities?
Research Hypotheses
- H1: Climate-induced migration significantly disrupts traditional livelihood strategies.
- H2: Migrants experience higher levels of economic vulnerability compared to host communities.
- H3: Adaptive strategies that integrate migration management improve community resilience.
Significance of the study
This study is significant as it provides an in-depth analysis of the effects of climate-induced migration on livelihoods. Its findings will inform policymakers to develop adaptive interventions that foster economic stability and social cohesion in affected regions.
Scope and limitations of the study
Limited to the effect of climate-induced migration on livelihoods in Aba South Local Government Area, Abia State.
Definitions of terms
