Despite severe, frequent flooding in coastal regions in the Philippines due to climate change, most residents do not consider migration as a short-term solution, according to new Cornell research. Lindy Williams, professor of global development and a member of the Migrations Lab, profiled two cities in the province of Luzon as they face the risks and consequences of frequent flooding. Despite these problems, climate-driven migration is not yet widespread, said Williams, first author of Major storms, rising tides, and wet feet: Adapting to flood risk in the Philippines, published in International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction. It is on a lot of people s minds, but is not currently the main risk mitigation strategy they are trying to engage, Williams said. Ties to family and friends and community familiarity continue to motivate most people to stay, the researchers found.
