Climate Change and its Implications

ReliefWeb has compiled a resource page entitled "Humanitarian Implications of Climate Change." It includes links to key documents, research institutions, international humanitarian organizations, hazard specific analysis, thematic impact studies, and geographic impact studies.

Two recent discussions on the displacement implications of climate change held within a day of each other are available as a podcast and video, respectively:

- Human Displacement and Climate Change in International Law, 22 May 2008 [FMO podcast]

- Climate Change, Migration & Environmental Refugees, 23 May 2008 [YouTube video]

Two upcoming meetings will provide further opportunity to explore this issue:

- Environmental Change and Migration, Refugee Studies Centre Workshop, 11-12 September 2008 (venue to be announced) [more info.]

- Environment, Forced Migration and Social Vulnerability, 9-11 October 2008, Bonn [more info.]
