Youth Migration Surges in Honduras as Climate Change Impacts Farming
Climate change, specifically drought and erratic rainfall, is driving young people in Honduras to leave farming and migrate in search of a more secure future. The country has seen a significant increase in migrants at the southern U.S. border, with climate change being one of the contributing factors. The devastation caused by recent hurricanes and the ongoing challenges of erratic rainfall and drought are undermining agriculture, which has historically been a key source of subsistence in Honduras.
