Summary
Proposals should develop a strategic roadmap that will act as a comprehensive framework for understanding the impacts of climate change on migration and its impact on future generations and outline key research and policy priorities in the context of environmental degradation, climate change and migration.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should identify gaps and set the groundwork for future research and policy initiatives. They should adopt an interdisciplinary approach integrating climate, population, and human mobility studies addressing the complex relationship between environmental disasters and migration intentions. They should encompass a broader analysis of vulnerabilities, such as internal displacements, how preexisting inequalities (e.g. social, economic, political, health, gender) are exacerbated due to climate change, and populations stranded in their countries of origin, aligning with EU’s external policy frameworks for adaptation strategies.
Proposals should consider the involvement of the Knowledge Centre on Migration and Demography (KCMD) operated by the European Commission’s JRC with a view to be sustainable beyond the lifetime of the project. In particular:
- the structure and the format of the platform should be decided together with DG RTD, DG HOME and the JRC, and it should be built and hosted within the web environment of the Knowledge Centre on Migration and Demography as part of its knowledge management efforts;
- the development of the roadmap is encouraged to be developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders, particularly including with DG RTD, DG HOME and the JRC;
- findings and recommendations should be translated in very concise policy briefs, preferably in coordination with the KCMD.
Proposals could identify local case studies to perform context-specific analysis and extract actionable insights and scalable solutions that could inform broader migration and climate adaptation policies. These local case studies could explore the impact of climate change in different regions and the phenomenon of environmental immobility, where individuals are unable or unwilling to move despite facing significant environmental threats.
