Figures projecting future migration and displacement due to climate change are available, but the lived experience of people in climate-vulnerable areas is often lost in these discussions. This policy brief presents a set of scenarios, developed as part of the HABITABLE project, that aims to advance our understanding of the general themes related to climate and migration trough the stories and the nuances behind these facts and figures. They aim to inform policy actions, in addition to top-level mitigation actions, that we can take in the present and near future to ensure a habitable world in 2050 where those most exposed the impacts of the climate crisis can continue to live in dignity.
HABITABLE aims to significantly advance our understanding of the current interlinkages between climate impacts and migration and displacement patterns, in order to better anticipate their future evolutions.
