(CEDEM) invited a small group of European policymakers and experts for
an open discussion on the topic of environmentally induced migration at

and migration. These new insights were discussed by experts in this
topic including Dr. Hassan Boussetta (CEDEM), Prof. Han Entzinger
(Erasmus University Rotterdam and EACH-FOR project), Dr. Philippe
Boncour (IOM), Prof. Roger Zetter (Refugees Studies Centre, University
of Oxford), Prof. Janos Bogardi (UNU-Vice Rectorate in Europe) and
