DESCRIPTION:Please join us next Thursday, July 27, at 9am PT / 12pm ET for a live panel 
 to mark the upcoming release of our research brief, “Climate Refugees: 
 Facts and Findings, and Strategies for 'Loss and Damage.'” \n\nThis panel 
 brings together several experts to discuss Global North countries', 
 institutions', and industries' culpability for the climate crisis, and how 
 action on their part is essential to mitigating the crisis of 
 climate-induced displacement by ensuring the safe resettlement of climate 
 refugees, and fostering diversified climate-resilient economies and just 
 transitions across the Global South and Global North 
 alike.\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n--Amali Tower, Refugee & Migration Expert, and 
 Director of Climate Refugees\n    \n--Hamza Hamouchene, Programme 
 Coordinator for North Africa at the Transnational Institute\n    \n--Mizan 
 Khan, Deputy Director of the International Center for Climate Change and 
 Development\n    \n--Ineza Umuhoza Grace, Research Assistant at Politics of 
 Climate Change Loss and Damage\n    \n--Hossein Ayazi, Policy Analyst, 
 Global Justice Program at the Othering & Belonging Institute\n\n\nEvent 
 Summary:\n\nCurrently, over 70 percent of people displaced worldwide come 
 from the most climate-vulnerable countries–largely from across the Global 
 South. Yet, protections for climate-induced displaced persons forced to 
 cross international borders are limited, piecemeal, and not legally 
 binding. Conversely, in 2022, and after decades of pressure, 
 climate-vulnerable countries won the fight for a “loss and damage” fund 
 to ensure that the costs of the climate crisis are covered by the Global 
 North countries and corporations that gave rise to it. Marking the release 
 of the Othering & Belonging Institute's research brief,  “Climate 
 Refugees: Facts and Findings, and Strategies for 'Loss and Damage,'” this 
 panel aims to bridge these Global South “movements”--of climate-induced 
 displaced peoples, and for c​limate refugee protections and climate 
 reparations.\n\nThis panel brings together several experts to discuss 
 Global North countries', institutions', and industries' culpability for the 
 climate crisis, and how action on their part is essential to mitigating the 
 crisis of climate-induced displacement by ensuring the safe resettlement of 
 climate refugees, and fostering diversified climate-resilient economies and 
 just transitions across the Global South and Global North alike. Speaking 
 to the research brief and their expertise, panelists will discuss how to 
 secure protections for climate refugees; how to fortify and expand the 
 legal case for “loss and damage”; how to link climate-induced 
 displacement and “loss and damage” compensation mechanisms through 
 research and through labor and land reform, among other measures; and the 
 just financing of “loss and damage” in ways that build on and expand 
 the “polluter-pays principle” without reproducing neocolonial debt and 
 finance mechanisms. \n
