What: UNU-EHS Press briefing “Policies needed in the Pacific to address climate migration”
When: Tuesday, 9 June at 10.00 am
Where: Room Nairobi 3, World Conference Center Bonn
Why: As the architecture of the international climate agreement takes shape this week at the UNFCCC climate talks, United Nations University (UNU) scientists call for migration policies in the Pacific. The recent devastating super storms, Cyclone Pam and Typhoon Maysak, have again called the international spotlight to the vulnerability of the Pacific region to climate stressors. Researchers from the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) have just returned from the region, where they analyzed how these climate-related impacts affect migration in the Pacific Islands.
