Will millions of people migrate because of climate change?

There are some pretty staggering numbers in the headlines about how many people could be displaced because of climate change. But our three experts - Dr. Caroline Zickgraf, Dr. Yvonne Su, and Dr. François Gemenne - explain why it's not so simple to make predictions.

This series was originally produced by Migration Matters e.V. for an Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange that invites refugees and non-refugee students from all over Europe and the Southern Mediterranean to learn together in an interactive, online classroom. These videos have been produced under a contract with the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, financed by the European Union’s budget. The opinions expressed are those of the contractor and do not represent the contracting authority’s official position.
