Migration

DGAP’s research on migration connects the work of its Center for Migration with the work of other centers and projects in its Research Institute. The aim of this collaboration is to create synergies between its researchers and to bring together interdisciplinary and regional expertise on topics of migration, asylum, and refugees. Our research focuses on the analysis of migration movements, policies, and debates in Germany, Europe, and beyond.

Migrating, Adapting in Place or Missing Options? A Systematic Review of Climate Change-Migration Links in Peru

Peru provides an illuminating case for examining the links between climate change and migration. Settled in a wide range of contrasting climatic, topographic and vegetation zones, its population is exposed to diverse hazards projected to intensify under climate change. Through a systematic review of 59 studies, the authors identify how climatic pressures influence different forms of migration across Peru’s varied landscapes. It finds that hydrometeorological hazards in particular-resulting in water scarcity or water excess-can erode livelihoods and place satisfaction and thereby drive internal migration, disaster displacement and planned relocation in the country.
