Summary: The authors of this ‘personal view’ delve into the complex relationship between climate change, migration patterns, and health outcomes in Latin America and the Caribbean. While the severe impact of climate change on health in Latin America and the Caribbean is widely acknowledged, multiple effects on migration and the well-being of migrants are often overlooked, encompassing poverty, food and water insecurity, and adverse physical and mental health outcomes. By emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts across sectors, including public and private entities, civil society, and academic institutions, the authors aim to address the nuanced intersections of climate change, migration, and health impacts in the region.
