Global Migration Futures

IMI, 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 and Europe, and is now extending its reach into the Horn of Africa and Yemen through an innovative partnership with the Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (RMMS), funded by the Danish Refugee Council.
