François Gemenne is a research fellow at the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI), and he teaches the international politics of climate change and the governance of migration at Sciences Po Paris, the University of Paris 13 and the Free University of Brussels.

His research deals with populations displaced by environmental changes and the policies of adaptation to climate change. He has conducted field studies in New Orleans (United States) after hurricane Katrina, and in the archipelago of Tuvalu, threatened by sea-level rise, as well as in China, Central Asia and Mauritius.

Between 2007 and 2009, he supervised the research clusters on Asia-Pacific and Central Asia of the European research project EACH-FOR (Environmental Changes and Forced Migration Scenarios). The project aimed to describe the empirical linkages between migration and environmental changes, in a comparative perspective. He has also been the scientific advisor of the exhibition "Native Land. Stop Eject", held at the Fondation Cartier for contemporary art in Paris in Winter 2008. He has consulted for the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

He holds a joint doctorate in political science from Sciences Po Paris and the University of Liege (Belgium). He also holds a Master in Development, Environment and Societies from the University of Louvain, and a Master of Research in Political Science from the London School of Economics (LSE), where he also taught some courses. He has authored three books: Anticiper pour s’adapter (with L. Tubiana and A. Magnan, in French, Pearson 2010), Géopolitique du changement climatique (in French, Armand Colin 2009), and Nations and their Histories: Constructions and Representations (edited with S. Carvalho, Palgrave Macmillan 2009).
