4 November 2014 - The Nansen Initiative on Disaster-Induced Cross-Border Displacement aims to build consensus on the development of a protection agenda addressing the needs of people displaced across borders in the context of disasters and climate change. The Nansen Initiative’s work plan focuses on three types of movement – displacement, migration and planned relocation. The panel examined each of these kinds of movement to identify how, why and when people may move in response to disasters and the impacts of climate change, and what legal and policy frameworks are needed to support such movement. Speakers: Professor Walter Kälin Envoy of the Chairmanship of The Nansen Initiative and Professor of Law, University of Berne Bruce Burson Independent expert and member of The Nansen Initiative Consultative Committee Professor Jane McAdam Director of the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, UNSW and member of The Nansen Initiative Consultative Committee
