It includes quotes from EU officials, a migration expert at the European Policy Centre, and an interview with Shaina Tabback of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on climate drivers. Sourcing draws on EU Commission reports, named experts, and statements from member-state officials such as Germany's interior minister.
