THE HAMBURG CONFERENCE: Actions for Climate-Induced Migration

Hội thảo quốc tế, Tin tức25/02/2013Posted by admin
The 21st century will be characterized by changes shaped by climate change. Many scientific results have shown the threats and challenges that climate induced migration poses on population, governments and governance structures

The goal of the Hamburg Conference (16-18 july 2013) is to increase knowledge and management inputs through an intensive learning process of decision-making, action and evaluation. Therefore we invite contributions showing tools and actions to deal innovatively with environmental and climate-induced migration.

We invite contributions from scientists, experts, practitioners and decision-makers, with a special attention to contributions coming from the Global South. The conference aims at shedding light on environmental induced migration (CIM) and on the driving forces for action. We seek to promote not only the debate around CIM but also to increase the participation, exchange of knowledge and capacity building between the Global South and the North.
