United Nations University Institute for Environment & Human Security EFMSV Germanwatch Session “Climate change, migration and European Foreign Policy – the need for scientific conceptualisation” Bonn, Germany Thursday, 9 October, 2008 The danger of „Us“ vs. „Them“ Who stands to lose more? Source: Material World: A Global Family Portrait (Menzel 1994) People worldwide face risk of losing life, livelihoods, home. The ability to cope with these risks differs from place to place. Some people migrate, some try to stay and „muddle through“. What are the options?

United Nations University Institute for Environment & Human Security EFMSV Germanwatch Session “Climate change, migration and European Foreign Policy – the need for scientific conceptualisation” Bonn, Germany Thursday, 9 October, 2008 Europe is at the forefront of environmentally-induced migration. There is no turning away from the problem, but there are choices to be made how to move forward. Here are two alternatives.

United Nations University Institute for Environment & Human Security EFMSV Germanwatch Session “Climate change, migration and European Foreign Policy – the need for scientific conceptualisation” Bonn, Germany Thursday, 9 October, 2008 What actions must be taken? Europe has the opportunity to lead in policy and practice: 1.Science 2.Awareness 3.Legislation 4.Humanitarian assistance 5.Institutional

United Nations University Institute for Environment & Human Security EFMSV Germanwatch Session “Climate change, migration and European Foreign Policy – the need for scientific conceptualisation” Bonn, Germany Thursday, 9 October, 2008 Conclusions Environmental factors currently contribute to migration, this affects Europe. Europe can choose to act now, and stem a tide of environmental change and migration. Alternatively, Europe can choose to act later, and deal with humanitarian crisis on a large scale. We must address migration in the face of climate change TODAY for human security in Europe and for Europe´s neighbors tomorrow
