Concerns about climate change impacts on migration and displacement have been expressed regularly by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since

Prognosen zu #Flucht und #Migration – insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der #Klimakrise - haben sich stets einer gewissen Beliebtheit erfreut. Aber lässt sich Migration überhaupt vorhersagen? Meine jüngste Kolumne im Migazin 👇
