Round-up of Climate Change Resources

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," Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. 369, no. 1934 (Jan. 2011) [text via Tyndall Centre; scroll down to "People"]

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.
