Hugo Conference: Environment, Migration and Politics

Liège, Belgium, 3-5 November 2016

 

As the human dimensions of climate change are expected to be central dimensions of COP22, the conference will address the case of the increasingly numerous people displaced as a result of environmental disruptions, many of them related to climate change. For this, the conference will gather the research, policy and advocacy communities together one last time before COP22 [which will be held a few days later in Marrakech, Morocco, 7-18 November 2016]. The conference will also mark the launch of the Hugo Observatory, a new research united dedicated specifically to environmental migration, as well the creation of an international professional association of researchers working on these issues.
