Anticipating the Impacts of Climate Change Related Human Mobility in Pakistan and Viet Nam
September 23, 2024
Predictions about the impact of climate change on human mobility suggest that, without significant action, the world could see 143 million internal ‘climate migrants’ by 2050.
This report, part of an ongoing UNDP Predictive Analytics, Human Mobility and Urbanization Project, seeks to anticipate the scale and nature of this mobility in Pakistan and Viet Nam up to 2050. The insights presented are the outcome of a participatory foresight process which was applied in collaboration with experts and stakeholders in Pakistan and Viet Nam. They elaborate key risks, opportunities, uncertainties, and interconnected variables influencing the future of human mobility in these locales.
