Details

Climate mobility and the number of people on the move are growing by the day. This symposium seeks to accelerate dialogues and share innovative narratives around climate mobility and forced displacement in the Global South.

Discussions will center around
a) Global trends in climate mobility and forced displacement
b) Migration, adaptation or resilience: Where should we focus our attention?
c) Climate mobility: narratives and perceptions from activists on the ground

The event will bring together people from International Organizations, NGOs, Academia and activists. We will also end with a short poetry slam!
