"The Way Forward. Researching the Environment and Migration Nexus" by Marc Stal and Koko Warner is the second issue of the Research Brief series, published by UNU-EHS, and is based on the outcomes of the second Expert Workshop on Climate Change, Environment, and Migration that took place from 23 to 24 July 2009 in Munich, Germany.
The workshop aimed to further understand the links and implications of climate change and environmental degradation for migration and policy.
This Research Brief highlights that it is crucial to understand how existing migration flows may be affected by climate change in the future, therefore research should focus on providing best practice solutions as well as a set of options to manage the impacts of environmentally induced migration.
