Description
Nearly 80 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes. The effects of climate change and climate induced crises have and will continue to impact displacement. Join us to discuss the global situation and how we got here, hear about the lived experiences of asylum seekers, and learn how RPCVs are responding. Action items and opportunities for participants will also be shared.
