Environmental Change and Migration
Open accessAbstract
This chapter addresses the subject of environmental and climate change-related migration. This topic has received increasing attention over the years both within academia and policy-making. Yet, many misunderstandings about the relationship between environmental change and human migration remain. For example, it is often assumed that environmental change leads to millions of people on the run for their lives, seeking shelter far away from home. Policy-makers are therefore predominantly concerned with addressing emergency displacement and want to know how many climate refugees they can expect seeking to cross international borders in the years to come. This chapter attempts to nuance these perspectives. It shows how the relationship between environmental changes and human mobility is far from straightforward, highlighting the diverse and complex ways in which im/mobility in the context of social and environmental changes unfolds.

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.
