UCL IRDR Academic Summit on 'Disaster Risk Reduction and Human Mobility'
Human mobility - comprising voluntary, induced and forced migration - is a reaction to the globalisation of economic production and the proliferation of instability and conflict. It may also be an important component of forthcoming adaptations to climate change. For those of us who are involved in studying disaster risk reduction, the future consequences of population movements seem unclear and difficult to predict. What might happen if a migration crisis coincides with, for example, a natural disaster? This year's academic summit is devoted to an interactive debate of the issues associated with this emerging field.
