The rise in the number of climate migrants has been identified as a significant risk by an increasing number of defence and security experts.
“The rise in the number of ‘climate migrants’ has been identified as a significant risk by an increasing number of defence and security experts [92, 93].”
From Climate change and mental health: risks, impacts and priority actions (2018) · cites this paper as [93]
Section 2, “A world of policy rhetoric and lagging social science” (page unavailable), says climate-related forced migration is often framed as a security threat and that concern about migration leading to conflict is repeatedly cited by government agencies and other organizations. It does not establish a rise in the number of climate migrants or an increasing number of defence and security experts identifying that rise as a risk. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredClimate change mitigation and adaptation policies and projects cause the displacement of vulnerable populations.
“Research has shown that climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and projects cause the displacement of vulnerable populations (Harper 2020;Dooling and Simon 2016;Gemenne et al. 2014).”
From Design for Climate Change in the Neoliberal Present: Gentrification, Ecocide, and the Loss of Urbanity in New York City (2022) · cites this paper as Gemenne et al. 2014
The Conclusions (section 5; page unavailable) say that mitigation and adaptation policies, when done poorly, can dispossess vulnerable communities. They also identify forced migration in the name of food security as an area where climate responses may affect insecurity. The citing sentence omits those qualifications and presents displacement as an established effect of mitigation and adaptation policies and projects generally. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
