Water and Migration: A Global Overview

This report aims to start unpacking relationships between water and migration, using data collected from available public sources and reviewed in the context of water and climate. three-dimensional framework is outlined for water-related migration assessment -- one thaty may be useful to aggregate water-related causes and consequences of migration and interpret them in various socioecological, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical settings. A case study approach is adopted to illustrate the various applications of the framework to dynamics of migration in various geographic and hydrological scenarios. The case studies reflect on well-known examples of environmental and water degradation, but with a focus on displacement /migration and socioeconomic challenges that apply.
