  • 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.
