This feasibility study to generate statistics on climate-induced migration and ways forward sought to gather and review existing data on climate-induced migration, focussing on five Member States (France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain) and one candidate country (Türkiye), to inform an effective EU response.

The majority of population movements as a result of rapid onset events takes place within a country as opposed to across borders.

The Consultative Commission on Industrial Change (known by its French acronym of CCMI, Commission Consultative des Mutations Industrielles), is the heir of the European Coal and Steel Community (CECA in French) and joined the EESC in 2002. Since then, the CCMI’s remit does no longer only cover the traditional coal and steel sectors but has been extended to embrace all sectors of industry in both manufacturing and services.
