Description:

This lecture delves into the intricate relationship between migration and development in the context of environment change and degradation. We discuss migration processes and complex driver configuration both conceptually and based on a meta-analysis of multiple empirical studies, engage with micro-level migration decision-making concepts and draw from empirical evidence gathered through the MIGNEX project. The lecture will highlight key findings, methodological approaches, and policy implications, providing a nuanced perspective on the dynamics shaping environmentally-induced migration patterns and dynamics. Through critical analysis and discussion, participants will explore how migration intersects with environmental stress, socioeconomic development, and individual decision-making processes, shedding light on both challenges and opportunities for sustainable policy interventions.
