About this Event

International Protection in the Context of the Climate Crisis: Legal Strategies for UK Practice and Policy

Refugee Legal Support, in partnership with Earth Refuge and DLA Piper, are hosting a half-day practical, solutions-focused conference focusing on the protection of people displaced in the context of the climate crisis.

We’ll focus on:

  • Strengthening the legal rights of people displaced due to climate change
  • Turning academic insights into real-world solutions
  • Ensuring that protection is guaranteed as a right, not dependent on goodwill or politics

The event is supported by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, Doughty Street Chambers, ILPA - Immigration Law Practitioners'​ Association, Refugee Law Initiative and the Climate and Migration Coalition.


Panel topics include:

  • Key concepts at the asylum/climate crisis intersection;
  • Climate change and international human rights claims;
  • A focus shift in evidencing a claim taking into account the climate crisis;
  • Climate and Migrant Justice - Policy Intersections;
  • UK Climate Change-informed immigration practice; and
  • An interactive demonstration of the Climate Mobility Case Database for enhancing climate change displacement claims
