The
UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun ends tomorrow. The
Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research released its climate change research findings to coincide with the start of the conference; one of the reports is: "Climate-induced population displacements in a 4◦C+ world,"

Here are just a few thoughts on the Cancun discussions from various blogs/sites:
- Cancun: Climate Change, Displacement and Migration (Blog 4 Global Health, Dec. 2010) [text]
- Climate Forced Migration: A High Profile Panel and Me (World Development Movement, Dec. 2010) [text]
- ‘Climate Refugees’ not Recognized as ‘Refugees’ by UN (It's Getting Hot in Here, Nov. 2010) [text]
- Whither Go Climate Refugees? (Eco Walk the Talk, Dec. 2010) [text]
Elsewhere, a
side event to the High Commissioner's Dialogue on Protection Challenges 2010 was held 8 Dec. 2010 in Geneva on "Climate Change and Displacement." One of the speakers was Roger Zetter, RSC Director, who presented on "
Protecting Environmentally Displaced People: Developing the Capacity of Legal and Normative Frameworks."
Finally, here's a web site I just came across with a collection of articles and reports prepared by a group of lawyers advocating for a climate change displacement convention:
A Convention for Persons Displaced by Climate Change.
