Climate visas could give victims of natural disasters safe route to UK, says thinktank

Report also suggests migration could help ensure UK has necessary skills to meet government's 2050 net zero target

New climate visas should be created to allow victims of natural disasters to come to the UK, and to bring in skilled workers needed for the transition to net zero, a Conservative thinktank has argued.

Onward, whose co-founder Will Tanner recently became Rishi Sunak's deputy chief of staff, is urging the government to prepare for the likely increase in global migration as a result of the climate crisis.
