Advancing the Evidence Base of Future Warming Impacts on Human Mobility in African Drylands

Abstract A better understanding of climate change impacts and resulting human responses (climate‐related human mobility) have been identified as a research priority by the climate science community. Here, we provide the basis for future research efforts by identifying knowledge gaps and consolidatin...
