Abstract:

While the scientific understanding of climate migration is advancing, major gaps prevail in addressing the related humanitarian and socio-economic challenges. Drawing from recent research, this Policy Brief discusses key challenges and presents recommendations for enhancing the science-policy interface to more effectively tackle the complexities of climate-related movements of people. The outlined suggestions aim to foster inclusive representation, improve the accuracy of assessments, leverage public data sources, and broaden the scope of research and policy initiatives.
