the ramifications of projected increases in temperature, changes to

rainfall patterns, rises in sea-level and increase in extreme weather

events require attention from policy-makers worldwide. This is

particularly apparent in relation to migration, refugees and

international security, with climate change acting as a threat

multiplier to exacerbate existing tensions and instability.

The

Institute of Environmental Studies, in conjunction with the Climate

Change Research Centre, the Faculty of Law and the Refugee Council of

Australia held a public forum at UNSW on these very issues featuring

Professor Andy Pitman, Dr Jane McAdam and Anna Samson.
