The UBC Centre for Migration Studies is pleased to present a timely discussion on “Climate Migration and the Right to a Healthy Environment,” featuring immigration lawyer and climate migration expert Mojan Farshchi. As climate change accelerates displacement worldwide, this event will explore how legal frameworks can evolve to protect those forced to migrate due to environmental crises.

Participants will examine recent legal developments, the recognition of climate-induced displacement, and the role of the right to a healthy environment in shaping future protections. This conversation is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of human rights, environmental law, and migration policy.
