New Study Series On Environmentally Displaced People

The Refugee Studies Centre has started to release a series of studies that will help policy makers view the situation as it is currently.

The first Paper on Forced Migration is Called Environmentally displaced people, Understanding the linkages between environmental change, livelihoods and forced migration

and this is a blurb from the intorduction:

The Refugee Studies Centre’s (RSC) Forced Migration Policy Briefings highlight the very
best and latest policy-relevant research findings from the fields of forced migration and
humanitarian studies. Designed to provide a clear and accessible means by which rigorous
and objective research and analysis may influence a wider audience of policy makers and
humanitarian practitioners in a manner that is current, credible and critical. The series
provides a unique forum in which academic researchers, humanitarian practitioners,
international lawyers and policy makers may share evidence, experience, best practice
and innovation on the broad range of critical issues that relate to forced migration and
humanitarian intervention. The Refugee Studies Centre invites the submission of policy
briefings on all topics of relevance to policy and practice in the fields of forced migration,
refugee protection and humanitarian intervention. Further details may be found at the
RSC website (www.rsc.ox.ac.uk).

This seems like a very important survey of storts, to be done,and I hope that policy makers will take this into acount for future planing.

Thanks Forced Migration Current Awarness Blog for bringing this to my attention.
