In the 21 century, global issues are increasingly characterized by inter-connectedness and complexity. Global environmental change, and climate change in particular, has become a powerful driver and catalyst of forced migration and internal displacement of people. Environmental migrants may far outnumber any other group of displaced people and refugees in the years to come. Deeper scientific integration, especially across the social sciences, is a prerequisite to tackle this issue.
在21世纪,全球问题日益呈现出相互关联和复杂的特点。全球环境变化,尤其是气候变化,已成为导致人口被迫迁移和境内流离失所的强大驱动力和催化剂。在未来几年,环境移民的数量可能远远超过其他任何流离失所人群和难民群体。更深入的科学整合,尤其是跨社会科学领域的整合,是解决这一问题的先决条件。
