Forced Migration Review:Issue on Climate change and displacement


This 80-page issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR), published by the Refugee Studies Centre of Oxford University, includes a major focus on climate change and displacement and is now online at:

In response to growing pressures on landscapes and livelihoods, people are moving, communities are adapting.


This issue of FMR debates the numbers, the definitions and the modalities – and the tension between the need for research and the need to act.


Thirty-eight articles by UN, academic, international and local actors explore the extent of the potential displacement crisis, community adaptation and coping strategies, and the search for solutions.
