UN Sustainable Development Summit 2015
25 - 27 September 2015
New York, USA
Addressing climate change was a clear priority emerging from the UN Sustainable
Development Summit 2015, which was held in New York over the 25th to 27th of
September. Numerous world leaders, who gathered in New York to adopt the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development, highlighted climate change as one of the
key issues that will give impetus to the 2030 Agenda and its implementation.
Many of the leaders present also used the Summit as an opportunity to create
momentum for the negotiations leading to COP21 in Paris. For example, French
President Francois Hollande spoke at length about the need to produce a strong
climate agreement that will commit governments for decades to come. The links
between migration, environment and climate change were also raised during the
discussions, with governments including the USA, Honduras, Hungary, Gabon,
Guatemala and Kiribati referring to climate change and natural disasters
amongst the various drivers of migration. Similarly, IOM’s intervention to the
plenary highlighted climate change and extreme weather events as factors
driving migration that must be addressed.

Cities Deliver Sustainable Development:
Global Urban Leaders Endorse and Operationalize the SDGs
24 September 2015
New York, USA
On 24 September – the eve of the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit
– world-leading mayors and local government representatives met in New York to
pledge their support for the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Participants included Dr. Juan Clos, Executive Director of UN Habitat; Jeffrey
Sachs, Director of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN); as
well as mayors from Johannesburg, New Orleans, New York, Kingston, Copenhagen,
Banda Aceh, Belo Horizonte and Dakar. Climate change related issues featured
prominently in the discussions, with the need for significant structural change
and transformation to address climate change emerging as a key theme. The
importance of local governments in meeting the climate challenge was also
commonly highlighted. The links between migration, urbanization, climate change
and disaster risk reduction were also touched on by some of the speakers. The
Mayor of Johannesburg for example, spoke of the social, economic and
environmental challenges of migration and urbanization, while the Mayor of New
Orleans discussed the plight of the 1 million Americans displaced by Hurricane
Katrina. This event was part of a series of activities taking place on the
margins of the 2015 Summit.Logo © United Nations 2015

COST Workshop
Climate Change and Migration:
Knowledge, Law and Policy, and Theory
Combining quantitative and qualitative methods for
a better understanding of the climate change-migration nexus
28-29 September 2015
Seville, Spain
The COST Action on Environmental Migration, funded by the European Union, came
to an end in Seville on 28-29 September 2015, with the organization of a
Workshop on mixed methods in research on environmental migration. The workshop
brought together about 20 participants representing the academia,
practitioners, research experts, intergovernmental organizations and NGOs.
MECLEP partners UVSQ, UNU-EHS, University of Liège and IOM attended the
Workshop and presented on the MECLEP project in various presentations. The
MECLEP project - the only current global research project on the migration,
environment and climate nexus - was largely discussed during the event as a
model example of research for policy, relying on both qualitative and
quantitative methods.

| Returning home after Fukushima: Displacement from a nuclear disaster and
international guidelines for internally displaced persons
By Reiko Hasegawa
Research Fellow, Politics of the Earth
Programme, Sciences Po Paris
Displacement due to disasters is on the rise globally. The 2011 Great East
Japan earthquake and tsunami, followed by the Fukushima nuclear accident,
displaced internally more than 150,000 persons. Four years later, many of these
evacuees remain displaced, unable or hesitant to return home, due to
radiological and social consequences caused by the disaster.
Drawing on two research projects, this policy brief seeks to examine the case
of Fukushima evacuees, with special focus on the question of return, and
attempts to make policy recommendations specifically tailored for the nuclear
displacement. It explores ways in which genuine durable solutions can be found
for their case in line with international protection guidelines for internally
displaced persons. |
