INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN AFRICA
CMARN Webinar: 27 February 2025

International protection webinar

​CMARN's first webinar for 2025 featured a discussion on the role of international protection in the context of climate change in Africa. Panelists discussed whether, and under what circumstances, people fleeing climate change and disasters might qualify for refugee protection under Africa's regional refugee protection framework - the 1969 OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa. They also shared recent work by scholars, UNHCR and governments to support the implementation of international and regional refugee law in the context of climate change.

​

SPEAKERS:

  • Dr Tamara Wood (Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, UNSW; CMARN Steering Group)

  • Ursula Dzietham (Senior Protection Officer, UNHCR Regional Bureau for Southern Africa)

  • Mr Ibrahim Khalif (Department of Refugees, Kenya and independent Refugee and Migration Law Consultant)
