Our Community
At Earth Refuge, our community is made up of in-house and ad-hoc contributors from a range of backgrounds who bring to the fore testimonies, studies, observations, and potential solutions to climate-induced displacement.
Though our aim is to provide legal solutions to climate migration, the law does not operate in a vacuum, so providing context through insight into surrounding issues and perspectives is essential to this task. We want to dispel the myth of lawyers as the gatekeepers of justice, and to bring this gargantuan issue into normal discourse. This is the purpose of our Archive and Faces projects.
Archive
The Archive is just that: a collection of submissions in the form of papers, articles, book reviews, field reports and more all seeking to encapsulate the realities of climate migration that feed into its causes, exacerbating factors, and how we could or should respond.
Faces
Faces is what we call our testimonials hub, where the reality of climate migration is humanised. In this way, the voices of real people – those who know best – enable us to move away from a dissociated, statistical understanding of the issue and instead towards understanding the kaleidoscopic lived human experience of it.
