Refugees and climate change

Our topic for that sunday will be climate change and refugees. The numbers of refugees will increase as an direct effect of climate change due to rising sea levels effecting islands (Tokeleau) or coastlines (Bangladesh, Netherlands) . However the indirect effects will be maybe even more severe. Desasters like floods, storms and deseases will accure more and more. Problems getting worse, when governments can not handle the situation, which can be a reason to be forced to leave the country by itself.

 

We will discuss for two hours our future gloabal migration and situation of refugees on Sunday the 11th of January 2009. Meeting point: unsleepingworld.wordpress.com
