The EACH-FOR (Environmental Change and Forced Migration Scenarios) Project had two central aims: (1) to explore and describe the causes of forced migration in relation to environmental change; and (2) to provide plausible future scenarios of environmentally induced forced migration.

These specific objectives were achieved by the systematic overview and analysis of the relevant natural and human-made environment degradation processes, as well as the socioeconomic, historical and demographic contexts, in the regions studied in the project; fieldwork or desk studies in 23 case study areas; and subsequent scenario development for 6 of the case study areas. The project was funded for 2 years and the budget permitted a first scoping of the issues, development and testing of the methodology and some preliminary results and conclusions.

Publication Series of UNU-EHS include: InterSecTion, SOURCE, Graduate Research Series, Policy Brief, and Research Brief series.
