Beskrivning

In this important collection, Professor Hugo draws together key articles and papers by leading scholars and agencies which investigate the current and future effects of climate change on migration. Topics covered include the impact of climate change on the movement of people within and across countries, the economic and social effects of the forced displacement and resettlement of migrants, the flows of migration resulting from environmental disasters, the risks of conflict and the implications of climate change for vulnerable areas e.g deltas, atolls and coastal regions. The title concludes with an examination of what the policy responses of governments and international agencies are and should be.

Recensioner i media

‘Graeme Hugo assembled an excellent collection of previously published articles on all aspects of the connection between migration of people and climate change. . . . those included here would be an excellent place to state if someone wanted to cover most of the important topics and researched areas in the overlap between migration and climate change during the last 20 years. This collection provides a good mixture of theoretical and empirical studies, with several articles combining both theory and data.’
