Abstract

The presentation analyzes the drivers of migration in terms of global climate change, and the influence of environmental changes that feedback into existing political, social and demographic drivers of migration. Since poor people are the most vulnerable and worst hit by the impacts of climate change, it becomes a global responsibility to examine conditions and plan for policy changes that can help mitigate effects. The workshop advanced three policy priorities: attention to urbanisation; building resilience, and migration, as part of the solution.
