"Climate change, natural disasters and displacement : a multi-track approach to filling the protection gaps"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Kolmannskog Vikram | Trebbi Lisetta | septembre 2010Millions are displaced by climate-related disasters each year, and this trend is set to increase as climate change accelerates. It raises important questions about how well existing instruments actually protect people driven from their homes by climate change and natural disasters. This article first examines current protection instruments and points out gaps in them. There follows an exploration of various proposals for filling those protection gaps, with the focus on cross-border natural-disaster-induced displacement. A multi-track approach is recommended, including context-oriented and dynamic interpretation of existing law, and creation of new law. Adhering to (...)

Disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and environmental migration a Policy perspective
Documents institutionnels | Documents de travail d’institutions | OIM | 2010This paper presents IOM’s efforts to support vulnerable and mobile communities affected by environmental hazards through disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) activities conducive to sustainable development. Extrait du document : p 6-7 : « IOM’s involvement in coordinated humanitarian response stems from its Constitution and was6expanded upon in the Organization’s 12-point Strategy17 adopted by the membership in 2007.

"Migration, the Environment and Climate Change : Assessing the Evidence"Legal Protection of Migrants and Displaced Persons"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | UNU-EHS | Lazcko Frank | 2010Four main research challenges are posed by the intersection of climate change, broader environmental hazards and migration : How has the relationship between migration and the environment been conceptualized ? To what extent has it been possible to measure the scale of environmental migration ? What evidence is available regarding the impact of environmental migration ? What research has been conducted on policy responses ? Several factors make it difficult to predict the likely scale of environmental migration or its impacts. First, it is difficult to disaggregate the role of climate change from other economic, political and social factors driving migration. Second, (...)

"Questions humanitaires et sécuritaires et le cas particulier des réfugiés climatiques"
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Lobry Dorothée | janvier 2010« La Conférence de Copenhague s’est achevée par un accord politique de trois pages dénommé « Accord de Copenhague », visant à limiter l’élévation de la température, la réduction des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre et mettant en place des fonds pour les pays en développement. Si le texte final a déçu du fait qu’il ne soit pas juridiquement contraignant et qu’il n’impose pas aux Etats de mettre en place un traité pour prendre le relais du protocole de Kyoto, même imparfait, il constitue un début essentiel. En effet, l’Accord de Copenhague reconnaît le point de vue scientifique demandant à contenir l’augmentation de la température mondiale en dessous de 2 degrés, condition nécessaire (...)

"Climate governance beyond 2012 : competing discourses of green governementality, ecological modernization and civil environmentalism."
Publications de recherche | Textes académiques | Bäckstrand Karin | Lövbrand Eva | 2007It is today commonly argued that international climate politics is moving into a new era. With the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol in February 2005, many years of multilateral negotiations resulted in a legally binding agreement with quantitative targets that commit industrialized countries to reductions in national greenhouse gas emissions until 2012. However, the route set out by the Kyoto Protocol is far from uncontested and contemporary post-2012 negotiations speak of new ways of making climate policy in the future. In this debate the notion of a stringent multilateral agreement with negotiated emission targets and timetables is increasingly challenged by (...)

"Climate change, natural disasters and human displacement : a UNHCR perspective"
Documents institutionnels | Documents de travail d’institutions | Guterres António |The process of climate change – and the multiple natural disasters it will engender – will in all certainty add to the scale and complexity of human mobility and displacement. Thus far the international community has focused primarily on the scientific aspects of climate change, with the aim of understanding the processes at play and mitigating the impact of human activity. Yet climate change is likely to pose humanitarian problems and challenges. As such it is of direct interest to humanitarian agencies, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Ce document de travail étudie les différents scénarios de déplacement, les (...)

"Climate change, migration and displacement : impacts, vulnerability and adaptation options"
Documents institutionnels | Documents de travail d’institutions | UNU-EHS | OIM | NRC | UNHCR | 2009p 2 : « IOM, UNHCR, UNU and NRC therefore compiled this joint submission with the aim of bringing the migration and displacement implications of climate change to the attention of the UNFCCC and requesting that these implications are considered in the 15th Conference of Parties agreement. This submission is based on the assembly document text (FCCC/AWGLCA/2008/16/Rev.1) and contains concrete text proposals in order to indicate the gaps relating to migration and displacement in the previous draft and facilitate the inclusion of these issues in subsequent versions of the draft agreement. Climate-change related migration and displacement is a topic of relevance for (...)
