Experts on Migration Meet in April in Munich
UNU-EHS and IOM, with support from the Munich Re Foundation (MRF) and the Rockefeller Foundation and in collaboration with the UNEP, have co-organised a workshop to bring together a diverse group of international experts in the fields of migration, social vulnerability, and environmental research.
The Expert Working Group will contribute to the understanding of the link and implications of climate change and environmental degradation for migration and policy.
The organisers hope that this event will contribute to the development of a "state-of-the-science" perspective on the focusing areas. Moreover, participants will be asked to make concrete recommendations for a better understanding of the link between migration and environment.
Additionally, recommendations generated at the workshop will be channeled into two UNU-EHS organised events in 2008:
- A Summer Academy for PhD students
- The EFMSV conference
The Expert Working Group is going to take place
16-18 April 2008
