People forced to move is a powerful reminder that urgent action is needed to reduce climate change, in the same way as the ice melting year by year in the Arctic is a wake up call – a reminder of how fast the climate is changing, and of the importance of reaching global climate agreements at the negotiation tables.

A key goal is to establish a common understanding of the challenges related to climate displacement. 
Et viktig mål for konferansen er å etablere en felles forståelse av utfordringene knyttet til klimaflukt.
It is important to distinguish between sudden-onset and slow-onset crises and between internally and externally displaced persons. 
Det er viktig å skille mellom akutte kriser (”sudden onset”) og langsomtvirkende endringer (”slow onset”), og mellom internt og eksternt fordrevne.
Indeed the Nansen Conference is part of the celebration of the convention’s 60th anniversary. 
Nansenkonferansen inngår nemlig også i Flyktningkonvensjonens 60-års-markering.
