Migration
Research scope
The overall scope of this research is to contribute to the understanding of the interlinks between climate change and vulnerability to trafficking and exploitation, throughout different locations and climatic regions. It also proposes policy recommendations to address and mitigate such interlinks. It does so by addressing the following research questions: How and to what extent do the impacts of climate change on livelihood influence risks of trafficking and exploitation? How does this differ between different locations and climate change contexts?
