Climate change, migration and forced displacement: the new humanitarian frontier?
Climate change is projected to add to the scale and complexity of human mobility. What instruments/tools are available to the international community to meet this new humanitarian challenge? Will new tools and paradigms be needed to address large-scale internal displacement and cross-border flows?

I look forward receiving reports from this session and I promise to post it here as soon as I have something.

The increased interest for climate change and displacement is resulting in more and more written contributions in the area. This week I stumbled upon a few more web sites and articles related to the issue.

• The UNHCR published in October a policy paper on Climate change, natural disasters and human displacement: a UNHCR perspective. They also have a very good web site with an overview of many papers on the issue. 
• Forced Migration Review dedicated its October Issue to Climate Change and Displacement. It contains many interesting articles on the issue.
• Mikhail Gorbachev’s Green Cross Australia branch have dedicated quite a lot space on their site, publishing many interesting articles on the topic.

Other interesting things happening:

• Last week an adaptation conference was held in Netherlands. Read the outline of the conference here.
• A seminar is planned in Copenhagen on the 10th of December, by the Danish institute for International Studies, on Migration and Climate Change.
