Beyond Borders: Migration and the Climate Crisis

Nov 5, 2021 | 1:30 PM GMT - 2:00 PM GMT

Description

From Puerto Rico to Kiribati, from Syria to Bangladesh, from Chad to Greece, every day thousands of people are forced out of their homes due to environmental degradation or sudden natural disasters. Many find refuge within their own country, but some have to go abroad. This situation will only worsen if the climate crisis will not be addressed. During this Youth Daily Show, we will explore with two young leaders the important steps that need to be taken in order to address climate migration and to protect the affected people.
