    With Millions Displaced by Climate Change or Extreme Weather, Is There a Role for Labor Migration Pathways?

    03 February 2017

    Even as huge attention in the past two years has been focused on the movement of people fleeing their homes due to war or political instability, far less attention has been given to the millions displaced by the effects of climate change or extreme-weather events. Few opportunities for legal migration exist for these populations, however. This article explores the potential of regular labor mobility pathways to serve as a safe outlet for displaced populations in the areas most susceptible to the effects of climate change.
