The 'Migration as climate change adaptation' event explores how migration could become a way for some of the most vulnerable communities in the world to adapt to climate change. Millions of people are already using migration as a way of improving their livelihoods. Increasingly people are using migration as a way of responding to the impacts of climate change. Can and should this existing trend be harnessed as a form of climate change adaptation? The 'Climate change, migration and legal protection' event will explore the legal status of people who move in the context of environmental change. When people move in the context of environmental change they often fall between the gaps of existing legal protection. How should the law protect people who move in the context of environmental change? Does existing legislation provide enough to protect such people? Or are new laws and frameworks needed?
Technical information: Details of how to join the seminar will be emailed to participants after registration. You will need a computer with an internet connection but no other special equipment. Full details and technical help can be provided. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

We exist to challenge the lack of long-term strategies to support and protect people at risk of displacement linked to environmental change.
