Lessons from the Frontlines: What Canada Can Learn from Global Climate Migration Policies

Alumni All-Access | Oct. 25 | 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Join us for this special Alumni All-Access edition of Saturday Morning at the Law School.

As climate change increasingly becomes a driving force for migration, countries like Canada face the challenge of adapting their legal frameworks to address this emerging reality. 

Our expert speaker will guide you through a comparative law analysis, highlighting how nations such as Australia are pioneering efforts to integrate climate migration into their policies. 

This session will explore how Canada can follow suit, ensuring our migration governance framework is equipped to meet the challenges of the future. 

Join this unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and contribute to a crucial conversation that impacts both local and global communities.
