Health systems are one of the most significant institutions impacting long-term migration and these systems' strengths and weaknesses will determine the integration and well-being of migrants for years to come. A critical analysis of existing literature exposes that there is little current research ...
HAUER: Yes, it’s going to have a big effect. We called the migration of African-Americans out of the U.S. South into the industrialized North in the early part of the 20th century the Great Migration — and that was around 10 million people or so who migrated. Most people don’t w...
This chapter engages with the current political and academic debate on the governance of “climate migration.” It highlights the difficulties of ascribing a unique cause to migration and questions the relevance of distinguishing “climate migration” from other forms of migration. It then exposes the...
The Refugees International report praises the initial steps of the Biden administration and argues that "the United States has a moral and practical responsibility to lead on issues of climate change, migration, and displacement" because the U.S. has been responsible for the largest share of heat...

This paper shows that international migration has had the border states of southern Mexico as destination, but increasingly they appear as transit regions and origin of migration to the United States of America, interrelated phenomena that have in common increased poverty because of climate change...
(2011), which states that in addition to exercising a direct influence, environmental change induces changes in other drivers of migration and thus indirectly affects migration decisions. Indeed, some macro-level studies provide support of the indirect effect of climatic factors on international ...
Climate-induced migration: using mental models to explore aggregate and individual decision-making The US Dust Bowl of the 1930s (a prolong period of drought experienced in the United States accompanied by severe sand storms) is often described as an abn... CT Whitley,LR Iii,S Mattes,... ...
Already, this theme is emergent in research on topics like climate migration34,35,36. We believe that social science analysis of climate change-attribution impacts of extreme weather events can further substantiate the major (and inequitable) impacts climate change is having in our world today. ...
