Climate migration will be one of the most important challenges in the coming decades, and although many international institutions are beginning to recognise this challenge, there is no coordinator for these efforts. The EU, because of the resources at its disposal and the fact that it is a world leader in the fight against climate change, can play this role. It can also be one of the elements of building and strengthening the EU's partnerships in the international arena, and it could strengthen the flagship political project of recent years, i.e. strategic autonomy. The aim of this article is to analyse the EU agenda and the actions taken so far to prepare the EU and the international community to manage climate migration on a global scale.
