Energy and natural resources: interactions with other megatrends

To truly meet the challenges of climate change we must “build connections between people, among nations, with policymakers, with stakeholders, that give us some framework for a sustained response to what will be a sustained problem.”

In 2016 alone, over 24 million people were displaced by unexpected climate-related disasters. It is commonly understood that there is a correlation between climate change and human mobility, however, the lack of evidence-based findings has hindered necessary changes to being made in this regard. It is extremely difficult to track migration caused by climate change; there are numerous other factors that could also contribute to migration, and some may even be in combination with climate change.
