On 8 and 9 January 2009 the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) and the
International Migration Institute (IMI) of the University of Oxford
convened with the support of the UNHCR a two-day workshop on
‘Environmental Change and Displacement:
Assessing the Evidence and Developing Norms for Responses’.
It examined current research evidence on the relationship between
climate / environmental change and migration, and the role the
academic community should play in providing policy makers with
guidance in forming policy in preparation for potential large-scale
migration.
The report of the workshop and the background paper ‘Environmental
Change and Forced Migration: A State of the Art Review’ are available
online at http://www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/conf_conferences_080109.html
