Displacement, development, climate change. International organisations moving beyond their mandates

Book presentation and discussion with Nina Hall (author of the book, lecturer at the Hertie School), Beate Grzeski (Commissioner for Refugees and Migration, Federal Foreign Office), and Lora Anne Viola (Assistant Professor, Freie Universität Berlin).
Moderation: Dagmar Dehmer (Tagesspiegel).

Climate change is increasing the frequency of natural disasters and undermining development efforts. How are international development and humanitarian organisations adapting to climate change? In her book 'Displacement, development, and climate change - international organisations moving beyond their mandates', Nina Hall looks at the responses of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Development Programme and the International Organisation for Migration. She identifies changes in their organisational rhetoric, policy, structure, operations and mandate to address climate change. Hall challenges conventional international relations theories and argues that international bureaucrats play an important role in mandate expansion.
