THE REVIEW
HAVE YOU HEARD OF CLIMATE MIGRATION? It is the unfortunate process of being forced to migrate to a new city, due to climate change causing a loss of livelihood or climate disasters rendering one's present abode uninhabitable. Agricultural workers and residents of towns in areas where the effects of climate change strike first are usually among the first to be displaced.
EVs are an indispensable ally in the battle against climate change. Large-scale adoption of EVs will have significant beneficial effects on the climate and global carbon-footprint. This is one of the primary reasons why there has been a global push to go electric.
The EV industry can offer climate migrants necessary jobs, for which they left their homes to begin with. They can offer these individuals not only jobs, but a chance to rebuild their lives and contribute to a future where climate change displacement is a thing of the past.
Climate Migration is not a localised phenomenon, it is gradually spreading through the world, and only getting worse.
