Abstract: Climate change-related risk factors such as rising sea levels, rising temperatures and water scarcity threaten both coastal and island populations in Spain. In turn, the progressive impoverishment of the population in certain parts of the territory as a consequence of climate change, especially in rural areas, contributed to the “emptying” of these areas towards cities, also vulnerable to climate risks. These movements, hitherto perhaps imperceptible, should lead us to reflect sooner than later on the effects of climate change in the decision to migrate. This article reflects on how climate impacts have an influence on the internal displacement of the population in Spain, contributing to a comprehensive analysis, so far absent. The methodology used is inductive and deductive, based on the examination of scientific and statistical studies, which show that climate displacement is a reality in Spain, as well as the applicable legal and political framework. Given the limited response to these population movements, it is urgent to establish adaptation and resilience strategies that address these displacements, based on a rethinking not only of the climate policies, but also of socio-economic ones for the recovery of Spanish rural territories.
