IREJN and the Hartford International University for Religion and Peace will present a 90 minute webinar on Thursday, February 3 from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm on the intersection of climate change and migration. We will focus on how climate change exacerbates both conflict and hunger crises, creating both internal migration and immigration.
Our panelists will be Ali Noorani, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum, and Tabitha Sookdeo of Sookdeo Consulting, a climate and immigration activist who has worked to settle refugees in America. Eamon Ormseth will moderate our webinar.
