At Less serious situation, With low emissions and inclusive and steady growth, count Immigrants may be as low as 80% But that, too, would mean approximate displacement 44 million people.

The report did not analyze the implications Short term Climate change as effects of extreme weather events

Findings “They reaffirm the climate’s potential to stimulate immigration into countries.”Said Vivian Weinsen Clement, a World Bank senior climate change expert and author of the report.
