Migration and Demography
Migration and Climate Change - Why terminology Matters

This fact sheet is part of a series that distils key topics in the climate migration literature into clear and concise summaries, addressing a need expressed by policymakers. Each sheet focuses on a specific subtopic, condensing existing knowledge into an accessible format. 

It provides an overview of main findings alongside policy-relevant insights. The fact sheets use the term ‘climate migration’ as a broad concept that encompasses various forms of (im)mobility in the context of climate change.
