Abstract
This study examines the relationship between climate change and migration patterns in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), a region vulnerable to climate-related hazards. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyze climate data, migration trends, and conduct interviews with migrants and experts. Our findings indicate a significant correlation between climate change and migration, with rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme events driving migration. We identify agricultural disruption, water scarcity, and loss of livelihoods as primary factors. The study highlights the need for climate-resilient development and migration policies to address the vulnerabilities of J&K's communities. The study tends to prove and explain the interrelated phenomenon of climate change and the interrelated migration patterns accordingly with respect to location, time and situation. Keywords: Climate, Migration, Vulnerability, etc.
