Question

1. which term describes people displaced by environmental changes?

a. environmental migrants
b. coastal residents
c. climate refugees
d. flood victims

Explanation:

To determine the correct term, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "Environmental migrants" generally refers to people who move due to environmental factors, but the more specific term for those displaced by environmental changes (especially climate - related) is "climate refugees".
• Option b: "Coastal residents" are people living near the coast, not those displaced by environmental changes.
• Option c: "Climate refugees" specifically describes people who are displaced as a result of environmental changes, particularly climate - related events such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, etc.
• Option d: "Flood victims" are people affected by floods, which is a specific type of environmental event, but it is too narrow compared to "climate refugees" which encompasses a broader range of environmental changes.

Answer:

c. Climate refugees
