Seeking Refuge in the Climate Emergency

On September 14-16 and 23, 2020, Perry World House convened our Global Shifts Colloquium, “Seeking Refuge in the Climate Emergency”, to examine the underlying challenges, debates, and global policy solutions to prepare for and respond to climate-induced human displacement.

Climate change threatens to displace millions of people around the world as sea levels rise and extreme weather events become increasingly common. How can the international community respond to this immense challenge?

Our new report, “Seeking Refuge in the Climate Emergency” explores key debates, challenges, and issues around how climate change will impact human migration.
