Abstract: This paper examines the on-going challenges of climatic variations across the globe as it affects the movement of labor. Using exploratory methods it was discovered, from existing works, that labour migrants have been influenced by climatic conditions, either of the home location of the migrants or the destination. It was also discovered that the role of climatic variation is a moderating factor in this free flow of labour skills and that it is also a major factor of the process of Globalization. With the aid of a Scenario Network Map (SNM) the study projected the future of labour mobility, given the increasing occurrence and severity of climatic upheavals across the world. Two paths of action were identified and the resultant alternatives were highlighted. The scenario map concludes with possible alternative outcomes for actions taken today.
