Addressing climate change and migration in Asia and the Pacific. Asian Development Bank, March 2012, 94 p.http://beta.adb.org/sites/default/files/pub/2012/addressing-climate-change-migration.pdfDescription (source and copyright © ADB) :Climate change will increase the frequency of extreme weather events, making more geographic places inhospitable to human habitation and secure livelihoods. This report presents a detailed picture of the potential impacts of climate change on migration in Asia and the Pacific. It draws upon a wealth of research to provide policy makers with informed analysis of an emerging phenomenon requiring urgent attention by governments and the international community. The report also suggests that climate-induced migration should be seen not only as a threat to human well-being but also as a potential tool to promote human adaptation to climate change.Contents : Part I: Assessing the EvidenceMethodological Issues and CaveatsMigration PatternsClimate Change ImpactsHow Climate Change Will Affect MigrationPart II: Addressing the IssueFraming Climate-Induced Migration in a Development AgendaStrengthening Adaptation Through MigrationImproving the Knowledge BaseInternational CooperationFunding Climate-Induced MigrationRecommendationsConclusionBibliography
