Beyond “Climate Refugees:” Understanding global and local communities displaced by climate change
Climate change affects everyone, but some more than others, and at times to an exponential degree. Following climate disasters, individuals and communities are displaced, and vulnerable populations living in climate change “hotspots” are most disproportionately affected by the impacts of climate change.
On March 8th, the UBC Climate Action Mobilizers will be hosting Beyond “Climate Refugees:” Understanding global and local communities displaced by climate change to address this increasingly critical issue in Canada and abroad (examples include wildfires, flooding, and other extreme weather events).
This event will feature a panel discussion, bringing together individuals with lived experience of climate change displacement, policymakers, and community organizations to ideate ways to ensure that local communities are supported for climate change-induced displacement. As well, we seek to understand and advocate for migration pathways for individuals displaced due to international climate disasters.
📅Panel: Wednesday, March 8, 2023 from 5:30PM – 7:30PM
