Drafting a Legal Standard
With our multidisciplinary team, we have drafted a legal standard for the protection of climate-induced migrants that is centered on the “right to life with dignity.” While this is just the start, we’re now able to pressure-test and refine the standard with real-world examples.
Virtual Convenings
As a part of that refining, we launched a virtual convening series in February with Pacific climate activists. In each convening, we break down the legalese and dig into what really matters for activists and their communities when constructing legal protections. For more information on the series and - if you’re a Pacific climate activist, to sign up for the next convening - click here.
You’re Invited!
This month, we’ll be hosting a virtual panel event as a part of the NGO Forum at the Commission on the Status of Women. Our panel features climate activists and researchers from the Pacific who will be speaking to the complexities at the intersection of gender and climate change-induced relocation. As climate change and environmental degradation lead families and communities to consider relocation, we will be exploring the role of women in decision-making, the importance of community cohesion, and the key features of equitable planned relocation in governance and policy. Our panellists will be discussing Niue as a case study for how these challenges can be addressed in a national framework. The panel discussion will be followed by Q&A.
Wednesday, March 17th 5:30-7:30 PM EST / 10:30 AM -12:30 PM NUT
