In this regard, specific attention ought to be paid to how responses to climate change exacerbate inequalities within societies and create tensions between different groups-typically between those who are able to protect themselves from climate change impacts and those who do not have sufficient resources or are not prioritised in the responses to climate change. Frequently the possibility of migration from climate change is conflated with conflict outcomes from climate change; however, there is limited evidence and low agreement that climate change and migration will result in increased conflict , while there is robust evidence and medium agreement that climate change can exacerbate existing tensions, which can in turn result in political violence and an increase in asylum- seeking . In the future, conflict in the context of climate change impacts may increase the number of migrants seeking asylum, although at present there is scant empirical evidence for this . Recent evidence also provides support for social conflict around inequitable climate mitigation policy as well  .
