Outline

Migration between countries has continuously increased, and the factors are also diverse. However, when looking at the survey results on immigration factors between 2010 and 2015, the proportion of people citing their reason for migration was due to climate change is increasing significantly. So then, why are these environmental factors suddenly getting more attention than ever? And would this trend continue in the future?

We would like to analyze this phenomenon from a macro perspective based on long-term data over the past 70 years to answer this question.
