Event Summary
Join us for a fireside chat exploring the intersection of human rights, climate change, and immigration in the Global South with University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School Bok Visiting International Professor Dean Raymond Atuguba of the University of Ghana Law School. The discussion will explore the relationship between these pressing global issues and their impacts: how climate change exacerbates humanitarian crises, triggers migration flows, and tests human rights protections. Through insightful dialogue, we will navigate the ethical, legal, and socio-political dimensions inherent in addressing the interconnected challenges of environmental degradation, forced displacement, and the protection of vulnerable populations in the global south.
Please join us for a reception at the Kleinman Center following the talk!
