<p>The UK government has been at the forefront of assessing the link between climate
change and migration. In 2011, UK Government Office for Science published the Foresight
report on Migration and Global Environmental Change, which used cutting-edge science
to assess how environmental changes such as flooding, drought and rising sea levels
may influence global human migration. The government continues to assess emerging
science and evidence in this area.</p><p>The UK is a leader in ambitious climate action
and delivering success at COP26 is the government’s top international priority. We
were the first major economy to legislate for net zero emissions by 2050 and we are
committed to helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change that are already
happening, particularly in the most vulnerable countries. This includes supporting
sustainable livelihoods and reducing the risk and impact of disaster, which will help
ensure that people are not forced to leave their homes and communities while delivering
on the Global Goals.</p>
