The world map is re-shaped due climate-induced mass migration

Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
Climate-induced migration. Increasingly volatile climate change makes some areas of the world less inhabitable, causing large-scale, unplanned population shifts witin and across national borders and increased competition for and conflict over resources such as water, food and energy. Nation states are unable to constrain these masses and we see mass migrations and many big conflicts which eventually re-shapes nation states in the worldmap.
