“Policy makers and academics often pay little attention to environmental
drivers of migration in Egypt. This paper demonstrates that environmental
factors are often the hidden cause of the migration of Egyptians from
one region to another. The analysis is situated in the broader studies on
migration, and also shows why the findings of this study are significant.
The paper makes recommendations that will hopefully help policy makers
in understanding the causes of environmental migration and assist them in developing policies to address the problem of environmentally induced migration in a sustainable way.”
