The climate crisis is likely to be a factor for many of the 3,000 people, mostly from the Global South, currently seeking sanctuary in N. Ireland. Come and join this information session to learn about refugee protection in Northern Ireland.
The climate crisis is forcing people to flee their homes. Extreme weather events and environmental degradation can trigger refugee displacement. The impacts of climate change can exacerbate existing tensions and adds to the potential for conflict. When people flee and cross borders they may be in need of international protection such as refugee status.
The climate crisis is likely to be a factor for many of the 3,000 people, mostly from the Global South, currently seeking sanctuary in Northern Ireland.
Come and join this information session to learn about refugee protection in Northern Ireland:
- Who is here?
- Who is an asylum seeker and who is a refugee?
- What is the ‘hostile environment’ and how does it affect people in the asylum system
- How can you be an ally and stand up for refugees?
This session is delivered by Law Centre NI, which has decades of expertise in asylum law, and will be co-facilitated by someone from a refugee background.
