Climate-related Resources

Recently, I've come across several information sources that focus on climate-induced displacement including:

A post from Refugees International's WorldBridge blog that summarizes discussions that took place during a recent panel on "The Global Implications of Climate Migration."

A special section in the latest issue of Journal of International Development (vol. 22, no. 2, March 2010) that features four papers on climate-related disaster risk reduction, including "Rethinking climate refugees and climate conflict: Rhetoric, reality and the politics of policy discourse."

A chapter entitled "Promoting Justice within the International Legal System: Prospects for Climate Refugees" that appears in Climate Law and Developing Countries: Legal and Policy Challenges for the World Economy (Edward Elgar, Jan. 2010).

Yet another chapter on "Global Adaptation Governance: The Case of Protecting Climate Refugees" that is included in Global Climate Governance beyond 2012: Architecture, Agency and Adaptation (Cambridge University Press, Feb. 2010).

A new book that will be published in April: Climate Refugees documents the changes wrought by climate change through photographs which offer a look at the human impact of rising temperatures in nine locations.
