Unveiling international environmental migration and the migration-adaptation nexus. A Belgian case-study - second phase (MIGRADAPT-2). (MIGRADAPT-2)

First, the project will investigate the role of the environment as a driver for recent migration to Belgium. While the influence of climate, change on migration cannot be isolated; the project will rather attempt to provide an assessment on how migrants perceive the environment to have influenced their migration journey as well as how they perceive current environmental disruption in their countries of origin. Second, MIGRADAPT will seek to understand the effects of international migration on the vulnerability of the migrants' communities of origin. How and under which conditions is migration supporting the adaptation and resilience of communities affected by environmental changes?
