dc.description.abstract'Climate change has an impact on the world. Also in the rural and vulnerable areas. This thesis tries to understand the journey someone undertakes, when fleeing from their homes in these vulnerable areas to the big city- in this case Accra, Ghana. To get an integral view on this dynamic, the following research question will be answered: ‘What is the interaction between climate change and urbanization and what role does citizenship play in this interaction in Accra?’ Former case studies done in Ghana suggest that it is possible that people flee to the city due to climate change effects. Once they get to the city, literature suggests that spatial justice comes into play: their relatives who are left in the countryside still have to cope with the effects of climate change. This may set the migrant up to exercise their political rights. However, fieldwork has to be done to prove this.’en_US
