The event will be held in English and is free and open to the public.
Rising sea levels, devastating floods, and prolonged droughts are already forcing millions of people in the world to leave their homelands and to look beyond national borders for a new home. In the next decades, the number of climate refugees will dramatically rise. Who will take them in? What fate will they suffer?
The American film director Michael Nash traveled the world for two years to pursue these questions. His award-winning documentary, "Climate Refugees," impressively displays the human side of climate change, and brings to light the large challenges that climate refugees will pose also for host countries.
