The Foresight Global Environmental Migration project will explore the global patterns and impacts of migration over the next 50 years arising from environmental change, the opportunities and challenges which could result from changing migration patterns, and a suite of interventions appropriate in each circumstance. The interaction between migration, environmental change and development is a core component of this research. There will be a focus on locations likely to be most affected by environmental change and migration, such as low-lying coastal areas, dry land margins and mountain areas.
