Migration as an Effective Mode of Adaptation to Climate Change

This paper primarily draws directly from the evidence base and final report of the Foresight project 'Migration and Global Environmental Change: Challenges and Opportunities' (hereafter the Foresight report) undertaken by the Government Office for Science in the United Kingdom (Foresight, 2011). The Foresight report analysed the implications of environmental change on both internal and international migration on a global scale through until 2060.
