ASAP is running a project in the Great Lakes region to create methodologies for projecting human migration that integrate future climate projections and to gather stakeholder perspectives on the topic of climate-induced in-migration to the region. The project includes region-wide work as well as work specific to New York State, a unique jurisdiction which includes both major populations centers with high climate vulnerability and significant areas that are well positioned to be population-receiving communities under future climate conditions.

Climate Informed Demographics Workshop Agenda

Day 1 of the workshop featured a panel on approaches to integrating future climate conditions into population models and an overview of ASAP’s new climate migration modeling accelerator (CMMA).  Day 2 of the workshop convened a practitioner and research panel to discuss the unique climate, economic and demographic characteristics of New York State. Both days included an opportunity to learn more about the New York State Climate Migration Modeling Accelerator and for prospective teams to meet and develop their program applications.
