As a faculty member at the United Nations University, I am very happy to see this partnership between IOM and UNFPA to explore the connections between environmental and migratory issues. The primary purpose of the UN University is to use an interdisciplinary approach to create knowledge relevant to policymakers at many levels. When I first started to promote an Environment and Human Security department in 2003, it took some effort to explain to the academic community why these two things belong together. Now, after the world has witnessed the profound human impact of large-scale environmental catastrophes like the South Asian tsunami, I no longer need to provide an explanation.
