n July 2010, the UNU-EHS (UN University – Institute for the Environment and Human Security) organized a one week Summer Academy on environmental migration, during which twenty PhD researchers and experts from academia and international organizations met in Munich and discussed the problem of environmentally forced migration from a protection perspective. The aim of the week was to develop policy recommendations based on intensive debates. These policy recommendations will be used by the UNU-EHS in its activities in the context of the ongoing climate negotiations. This paper gives an overview of the findings of the Summer Academy, in which the author participated.
