The document concludes inter alia that:

• Where environmental change impacts on migration, its effects will be felt primarily in the developing world, with migrants moving either internally or to countries in the same region. New large-scale international population movements to developed regions such as the EU are therefore unlikely to occur.

• Migration in the context of environmental change will present both major challenges and opportunities. It is important to reflect on how existing measures could be better coordinated and targeted to form a comprehensive response to the challenges posed by climate change and migration as well as on the need for possible new measures.

• Different types of environmentally induced migration and displacement call for different approaches and policy responses.

The document identifies next steps for building a policy to address environmentally induced migration, including:

• Increasing the knowledge base
• Fostering dialogue with partners countries affected or likely to be affected
• Strengthening policy coherence and cooperation between multiple stakeholders
