From the perspective of those who will take migrants

            In the UK, research is being done on how climate change’s impact upon countries that are emigrated to will vary due to the infrastructure of those countries. They want to put into place policies so that those who have to migrate could go throughout Europe, and have solid emergency planning in place so that the people being displaced would have a swift and quick plan of escape once their environment can no longer handle inhabitants-slow or sudden onset.

Dogyote's Edit:

In the UK, researchers are studying how countries with varying amounts of infrastructure will cope with an influx of environmental refugees. The end goal of this work is to determine the best course of action in the event of various environmental catastrophes. Now move into the examples you have below:

Motivated Migrants-slow onset ex ample desertification

This type of migrant is displaced from their environment when an event is predicted prior to when it would be imperative for the inhabitants to leave.

Emergency Migrants-sudden onset

This type of migrant is displaced from their home state when their environment rapidly changes. They are displaced when disastrous events occur, such as tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters occur.

Our topic is Environmental Refugees. We are going to add information on small islands that are being swallowed by sea level rise, Alaska being threatened by climate change, difference between slow onset vs sudden engulfment, and countries that are adding the most emissions.

The Environmental migrant page that has already been created has sections for "Types", "Enumeration", "Political and Legal Perspectives", and "Documentary Films". We are going to add sections about what could happen to the people who live on small islands that are being swallowed by sea level rising, what could happen to Alaska due to Climate Change, slow onset vs sudden engulfment, and the countries that are adding the most emissions.
