EVENT OVERVIEW
This online event featured a four-person panel discussion with two speakers who have lived climate displacement experience, and two speakers who specialize in climate displacement community engagement and policy. The event concluded with a UBC Amnesty International letter-writing campaign to increase protection of climate displaced people. This fostered a better understanding of the collective responsibility and supports needed to address challenges related to climate change displacement.
