Global Migration Futures

GMFIMI, the Oxford Martin School, and the Dutch Foundation The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration (THP) have joined together to develop a project on future migration scenarios entitled Global Migration Futures: Towards a Comprehensive Perspective. Drawing on the views of a range of academic and non-academic stakeholders, the purpose of the project is to elaborate scenarios for the future of global migration, in which innovative thinking about unexpected changes in the structural factors driving migration occupies a central place.

The GMF team has developed scenarios for North Africa, Europe, the Horn of Africa and Yemen, and the Pacific. Follow the links below to find out more about scenario building in each of the regions and read a selection of the associated publications.
