SUMMARY:CGRS MCLE Webinar: Asylum and Climate Change: Fact
 ual Development in Climate-Related Claims
LOCATION:
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Center for Gender and Refugee 
 Studies (CGRS) for a webinar exploring the interse
 ction of climate-related displacement and the U.S.
  asylum framework. 
  
 An estimated 90% of the 
 world's refugees come from the countries most vuln
 erable to, and least prepared for, the impacts of 
 climate change. The UN Refugee Agency—and even the
  U.S. government—have both recognized that people 
 fleeing harms in the context of climate change may
  have valid claims for asylum. But how do you elic
 it relevant facts to ensure protection for individ
 uals displaced in the context of the climate emerg
 ency? What types of questions do you ask when scre
 ening for climate-related harms? 
  
 Factual de
 velopment is essential to develop any claim for as
 ylum. But the process can be more difficult and ti
 me intensive than many advocates expect. This is e
 specially true for climate-related claims. 
  
 
 Using real-world examples from Haiti to elucidate 
 how climate-related factors may interact with othe
 r forms of persecution, this webinar will focus on
  how to identify and analyze U.S. asylum claims in
 volving climate change and environmental disasters
 , including rapid- and slower-onset climate events
 , and how to elicit and incorporate critical facts
  to support such claims. 
  
 Attendees are enco
 uraged to submit questions in advance via the regi
 stration form, and also during live Q&A.
