Climate Change, Migration and Agent-Based Modelling: Modelling the impact of climate change on forced migration in Burkina Faso
نویسندگان
چکیده
The likely manifestations of climate change include rising sea levels, deforestation, dryland degradation and natural disasters. Such environmental events and processes are expected to pose significant challenges for society in terms of their effect on development and livelihoods, settlement options, food production and disease. It has been predicted that these challenges to livelihoods in vulnerable regions worldwide will lead to the large-scale displacement of people, both internally and internationally with estimates of some 200 million to 1 billion climate change induced migrants by 2050 2 .

متن کاملSimulation of climate change in Iran during 2071-2100 using PRECIS regional climate modelling system
Parameters such as future precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and runoff were modeled using PRECIS regionalclimate modeling system in Iran with the horizontal resolutions of 0.44×0.44°C in latitude and longitude under SRESA2 and B2 scenarios. The dataset was based on HadAM3p during the periods of 1961-1990 and 2071-2100. Theoverall precipitation error of the model in the period of 1961-1990 w...
متن کاملSurvey data on key climate and environmental drivers of farmers’ migration in Burkina Faso, West Africa
This article describes two datasets generated from various sources in south western Burkina Faso to identify the key climate and environmental drivers that cause farmers to migrate. The survey sampling is random but reasoned and rational. The first dataset from 367 farm households contains data on farmers' perception of climate change risks or hazards, their impacts on farmland productivity and...
