Climate change and human mobility

Global human mobility in the context of climate change and associated environmental degradation and disasters has become a subject of high-level political interest. There is strong demand for evidence-based quantitative understanding of how climate has affected mobility thus far and how it may do so in future. Whilst there has been substantial progress on projecting future global human exposure to climaterelated hazards (heat waves, floods, droughts, wildfires, crop failure, sea level rise) in coming decades, the likely mobility responses to these hazards remain overall poorly understood.
