In his article on page 47 of this issue, Craig Johnstone, Deputy High Commissioner of UNHCR, says that \u201cOur generation has failed to live up to its obligations to prevent climate change. We need urgently to prepare now for the human consequences of climate change.\u201d One of those consequences is the displacement of people from their homes, whether temporarily or permanently. Researchers and politicians may argue about the numbers likely to be forced to move but all concur about the need for preparation, adaptation, mitigation \u2013 and collaboration. We hope that all readers will be challenged, inspired and informed by the articles in this FMR.<\/p>\n

This issue is online at www.fmreview.org\/climatechange.htm. If you would like to receive multiple copies for distribution to partners or for use in training, please contact us at fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk<\/a>. We will need your full postal address and an indication of how many copies (in which language\/s) you require.<\/p>\n

We are very grateful to Andrew Morton of UNEP and Scott Leckie of Displacement Solutions for working with us as special advisors on this issue. We would also like to thank the following agencies for their generous funding and support: the United Nations Environment Programme, the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, GTZ\/German Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the International Centre for Migration, Health and Development.<\/p>\n

We also wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed funds to support FMR during 2008. FMR is wholly dependent on external funding and we are deeply appreciative of both your financial support and your enthusiastic collaboration. (Please see page 79 for a list of FMR donors.) If you have ideas for themes for future FMR issues that your agency or department might be willing to support financially, please do contact the Editors.<\/p>\n

Website relaunch<\/strong>
\nWith this issue of FMR we are relaunching the FMR website. We hope you find the new website \u2013 still at www.fmreview.org \u2013 easier to navigate and more informative. We will also shortly be putting online an index of FMR articles, searchable by country and theme.<\/p>\n

Readership survey<\/strong>
\nA short questionnaire is enclosed for those of you who are regular readers of FMR. Please share with us your views about FMR and how we might improve it. We would be extremely grateful if you would take a few minutes to complete it and post it back to us by the end of November. Alternatively you can complete it online at www.fmreview.org\/2008survey.htm. Thank you!<\/p>\n

With best wishes.<\/p>\n
