The social fallouts of climate variability will include changes in land tenure arrangements and social relations, migration and subsequent urban vulnerability.

The socio-economic groups affected most by climate change include small-scale food crop farmers, women small-scale farmers, Livestock operators, fishermen and fishmongers, slum dwellers, and migrant farm workers.

Migration and urban vulnerability constitute important dimensions of climate change in Ghana. The increasing rate of migration is attributable to both climate change and socio-economic vulnerabilities..
