Environmentally displaced people: understanding the linkages between environmental change, livelihoods and forced migration

Roger Zetter, Camillo Boano, Tim Morris

This policy brief provides an incisive overview of environmentally induced displacement, arguing for a more nuanced analysis of the problem that moves beyond the discourse of ‘environmental refugees’ and which is based on concrete data, as well as calling for substantial reform of existing protection mechanisms to incorporate the environmentally displaced in a meaningful way.
