- At least two causes identified (5 marks)
- At least two effects explained (5 marks)
- Real-world examples used (5 marks)
- Suggested solutions (5 marks)
- Structured writing with clarity and grammar (5 marks)
Model Answer:
Climate migration is the movement of people due to environmental issues such as droughts,
sea level rise, and extreme weather. People are forced to leave their homes because their
basic needs like water, food, and shelter are threatened. For example, in countries like
Bangladesh, rising sea levels have submerged farmland. Droughts in Africa have led to
water scarcity and crop failure. Organizations like the UN and Green Peace help by
relocating people or building better infrastructure. Solutions include improving education,
building water tanks, and international cooperation.
