By Roman Hoffmann (Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital) Hoffmann and colleagues at the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between environmental change and migration, finding robust evidence that environmental factors explain migration patterns. <p>Despite an increasing number of empirical studies about the impact of climate change on migration, there is no scientific consensus as to what extent and under which conditions environmental factors influence migration.
