Discussions about climate change have invariably renewed the debate about "environmental refugees." I have collected a number of random references to various resources on this topic. Some are recent publications, some provide background information. The list is definitely not comprehensive.

man this got me through my final research project for my environmental studies class.
thank you very much.
Has anyone come across research linking national asylum policies to the often misconceived perception of environmental refugees in international politics?
