Increasingly, there is widespread recognition that the environment,
people's lives and livelihoods are being transformed as a result of
climate change. This has been linked to increased levels of
environmental and weather-related disasters and higher levels of
displacement. The Refugee Studies Centre has produced a set of resources
which debate the issues - including numbers, definitions and modalities
- and the tension between the need for research and the need to act.
Prepared to complement Forced Migration Review 31
(http://www.fmreview.org/climatechange.htm) and the Forced Migration
Online (FMO) Research Guide on Climate Change and Displacement
(http://www.forcedmigration.org/guides/fmo046/), FMO also hosts a new
Resource Summary
(http://www.forcedmigration.org/browse/thematic/climate-change/) on the
topic which provides links to many key resources, websites and documents
related to climate change, environmental change, disasters and forced
migration.
