Commencing with the Prague Sit-in of 2114 but not becoming a seriosu threat to world political stability until the early 2120s, the Migration Crises were a series of mass population movements away from the equator as Global Warming seriously kicked in in the early 2100s.

The Tyranny of Geography
It was a horrible coincidence that at the turn of the 22nd centry, the territories soon to be made unlivable by Global Warming were populated by poor and developing countries. It is an equally cruel chance that the powers that occupied the small percentage of landmass that would still support life on Earth were at this point accepting no immigration at all. The results of the movement of over a billion people away from the Equator, towards the First World was messy at best, horrendous at worst.

Effects
Apart from anything else, the massive influx of refugees into the major powers territories kick started the Ark Shp building programs in the UISA and the SBE. Grossdeutschland and the USSR had Mars to fall back on, thanks to the Treaty of Voskhod and terraforming being completed in the 2030s.
With the development of FTL travel and advent of Colony Ships, the Migration crises abated somewhat. Toward the end of the 2160s, colonisation and terraforming provided new worlds for these people to be re-settled on. The period 2120-2170 still remains one of the most turbulent of Human history.
