Definitional issues

Despite the widely shared view that environmental degradation and climate change will contribute to increased population movements over the coming decades, there is little consensus on the definition of those persons currently or likely to be on the move. Persisting definitional debates are in turn challenging academics, policymakers and practitioners as they seek greater coordination in order to more effectively manage the migratory causes and consequences of environmental change. Seminar participants sought to help narrow these debates by clarifying some of the key issues in question and their definitional implications.
