DESCRIPTION:La Chaire Oppenheimer en droit public international accueille B
 enoit Mayer\, Université Wuhan University\, Chine\, pour une présentation 
 sur les migrations causées par le changement climatique.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En 
 anglais seulement] Political narratives on climate or environmental migrat
 ion have been deployed in support of policy arguments relating to humanita
 rian assistance\, migration\, climate change\, or to promote national secu
 rity or economic interests. But if climate change certainly has various im
 pacts on human mobility\, it does not appear to create distinct “climate m
 igrants” or (in general) unprecedented migration scenarios. This presentat
 ion by Benoit Mayer on the Concept of “Climate Migration” explores these n
 arratives and assesses their prospects. It argues that although such argum
 ents will influence global governance\, they will not necessarily achieve 
 what advocates hope for. Throughout the discussion\, it appears that the w
 eaknesses of the concept of “climate migration” are likely to be utilized 
 in favour of repressive policies against migration or for the defence of i
 ndustrial nations against perceived threats from the Third World.\n\nLe co
 nférencier\n\n[En anglais seulement] Benoit Mayer is Associate Professor a
 t the International Law Institute and the Environmental Law Institute of W
