Hello!
We are delighted to share with you the ‘soft’ launch of Earth Refuge, the planet’s first legal think tank dedicated to climate migrants.
It is estimated that rising temperatures could generate up to 1 billion climate migrants by 2050. Earth Refuge is a research hub & educational platform that seeks to avert, minimize and confront this crisis, bringing together the voices of those directly affected and those with the means to help.
We hope to achieve this through analysing the state of the law in the climate migration field, monitoring the operation of legislative, judicial and executive branches and commenting on draft legislation and strategic documents.
We will also produce accessible legal toolkits and frameworks that do just that – frame the problem with a solution that works – and put them directly in the hands of people who need them. For more information visit our website: www.earthrefuge.org
Before the ‘official’ launch of the Earth Refuge on Monday, 14th December 2020, we are building our archive. To do so, we need your help!
This is a call for papers, think pieces and insights from legal experts, environmentalists, and anyone with experience or interest in this field.
Please submit your piece, idea or any questions you may have to [email protected] by Monday, 30th November 2020. The format for submission can be anything from a paper or a webinar to a podcast. The minimum length for written pieces is 400 words.
Thank you for all your support – here’s to securing a future for the planet and its people 🙂
With love,
Yumna and Stephanie
