GREATER FOCUS ON MIGRATION: The movement of people within countries and between countries and continents is likely to increase. War and conflict is one of the reasons. Climate change is another. The huge population growth in Africa and the Middle East is a challenge. It is particularly difficult for weak and fragile states to deal with a sudden influx of large numbers of people. At worst, this can lead to conflicts or humanitarian crises spreading to new areas.
