Climatic and inland migration

Climate change determines our time, because the Earth's climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization.

Due to Iran's geographical location and location in the arid and fragile region of the country, its vulnerability to environmental and climatic crises and the continuation of its destructive trends, migration not only to the currently crowded cities of Iran but also It may increase to other countries.

The high number of these figures shows the high-risk situation of Iran in the field of natural disasters. In this regard, the Climate Migration Working Group intends to provide policy makers and planners in the field of migration and climate with various programs and strategies that are reviewed by successful global experiences and models in the field of climate control and guidance.
