Climate Change is not just a
scientific, environmental problem, but is having huge impacts on people
and communities around the world. Famine, floods, droughts or extreme
weather events are forcing many thousands of people to leave their homes
and this is set to increase. Like other migrants, these people face
repressive migration policies, increasing border controls and
restrictions on free movement.

The World People's Conference on Climate Change was a response to the
failure to agree an effective global deal on climate change and was one
of the first international events to discuss climate change and
migration.

Two people from local migrant solidarity group, Bristol No Borders, took
part in the working group Climate Migrants. Come along to hear what
happened, what they learned and to ask any questions. Some topics will
include,

• What is a climate migrant?

• Why not a climate refugee?

• What does this mean for us in the UK?

This complex subject involves issues of migrant rights, climate justice
and the global economy. No previous knowledge assumed, all welcome.
