Climate Change and migration in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

The workshop on June 21-22, national and international researchers, academics, key stakeholders from civic society, institutional figures, different communities, associations are welcome. The workshop will include four sessions, with presentations and discussions on case studies, videos and a final round table on policy aspects.

Its main objective is to provide a platform for sharing and learning on the nexus between climate change, migration and socio-cultural-economic perspectives, by observing the climate migratio departure, such as the North Africa and the South Mediterranean, and the destination areas such as North Mediterranean and European countries. This inter-dialogue of knowledge promotes a better understanding towards the forced climate migration with the researchers, pratictioners and policy advisors throughout a long-term trans-cultural perspective.

The workshop aims at identifying actions based on the feedbacks received by the project members, so that concrete proposals of policies are discussed, for both the resilience of specific territories and the inter-dialogue among the Mediterranean countries. The topics of the four sessions are:

- International recognition of climate migration, especially from the legal viewpoint and human rights. It maps the geographical barriers and social opportunities to promote proper policies.

- Push Factors for "forced migration”. Case studies of communities obliged to leave their homeland, because of climate change and of specific environmental emergencies, specifically around the Lake of Chad in Africa. - Pull Factors for “migrants'absorption”. Case studies of forced absorption in South European countries are illustrated.

-Social Representations and Policies for the Future. Good practices and policies for cultural, social, economic integration in a long-term perspective are analyzed.
