What will we do
We will be presenting our learnings and experiences from a multi-country research focused on the impact of climate change on migrant communities, conducted in conversation with over 23,915 migrant workers across five countries in South and Southeast Asia. In this convening community leaders and civil society representatives will share about the impact of climate change on migrants, workers and affected communities and why we need all hands on the deck to center workers and communities in the climate conversation.
