“Climate change – impact on migration”

This pre-working group is discussing the implications of global climate changes related to internal and international migration. Mobility patterns are changing and environmental change is intertwined with new coping strategies. How does climate change influence migration decisions, migration trajectories, humanitarian needs and political options? What is the changing role of cities?
