 Cw">Belmont Forum</a>&nbsp;is excited to announce the scoping of a new inte
 rnational funding opportunity focused on&nbsp;<strong>Migration and Climate
  Change</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;We invite you to participate in a special onli
 ne meeting to share your expert perspective of the state of the science as 
 it relates to research and societal needs in Migration. We will ultimately 
 incorporate your input into the development of research themes for an inter
 national call for proposals.&nbsp;&nbsp;Participation in this event does no
 t make you ineligible to submit a proposal once the call is finalized and r
 eleased.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The scoping meeting will be held online on&nbsp
 ;<strong>July 10,&nbsp;2020&nbsp;at&nbsp;11am&nbsp;UTC</strong>&nbsp;using 
 a government-secured Zoom license to bring together stakeholders from multi
 ple disciplines interested in Migration on various scales. Since Migration 
 and Climate Change is a multifaceted issue, it would benefit from the colla
 boration of many knowledge types and international resource partners with d
 iverse perspectives. Thus, the term stakeholder is used in its broadest sen
 se as it includes communities, policymakers, business and industry, unioniz
 ed bodies, tribal organizations, NGOs&nbsp;and&nbsp;many others. Accordingl
 y, this meeting is the perfect opportunity to co-design a funding call base
 d on the collection of adept input.&nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;<br /><strong>Please
