Agenda and Purpose
It looks at the overall history of migration and its role in human development. It looks at current philosophy with regard to social justice and it discusses proposals for migration which are in accordance with philosophy developed in the Green Economics Literature with the aim of making suggestions to our policy makers for the better management of migration problems.
This is very urgent as there seems to be a bankruptcy of ideas in the political arena with reactive management and this is leading to terrible human suffering and the public lurching from fear of migration to wanting to do their utmost to help fellow human beings. Indigenous peoples are being pushed out of their lands and traditional livelihoods too by combinations of globalisation, climate change and main stream economic ideology.
This could all be much better managed if the context was better understood and the pressures including those from climate change, which are driving global migration and will continue to do for years to come as well as geo political pressures driven in part by energy changes.
All of these have a strong green context – given that green is social and environmental justice and economics reform.
Green Theory and literature has much to offer in this regard and this conference will begin to provide some of the foundations for a new dialogue on this very pressing and difficult question.
All are welcome but please pre book and reserve your place. There is a flat fee of £50.00 per person per day.

We are taking Conference papers for the Proceedings document which will be made into a book.
