Educating the next generation of lawyers on the topic of climate migration will bring this discourse into universities, and encourage a collaborative approach to problem-solving.
We do this through working together with universities across the world: giving lectures or hosting panel discussions on climate migration, building partnerships with institutions and their respective departments, and enabling students to contribute to Earth Refuge through pro bono projects and interaction with our projects.
