'Climate Refugees' conference February 11 2017, London

There's growing support for the 'Climate Refugees' conference we're organising with Friends of the Earth in London onFebruary 11th. Our joint letter in the Guardian (10 January) sets out the scale of the challenge, with climate change and enforced migration increasingly linked, 'yet those displaced have no legal standing under existing international refugee and asylum law.'
