This 80-page issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR), published by the
Refugee Studies Centre of Oxford University, includes a major focus on
climate change and displacement and is now online at
http://http://www.fmreview.org/climatechange.htm
In response to growing pressures on landscapes and livelihoods, people
are moving, communities are adapting. This issue of FMR debates the
numbers, the definitions and the modalities – and the tension between
the need for research and the need to act. Thirty-eight articles by UN,
academic, international and local actors explore the extent of the
potential displacement crisis, community adaptation and coping
strategies, and the search for solutions.
The issue also includes a range of articles on other aspects of forced
migration. It will be published in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
Printed copies of FMR are all free. If you would like to receive one or
