January 21, 2011 Climate Change, Migration and Environmental Refugees
As the science of climate change becomes increasingly well understood,
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.
