Why You Should Support Us

From our very beginning, we made clear climate-driven migration is a justice issue affecting the world's poorest and marginalized people who have played almost no role in creating the climate crisis. And although on the frontlines of this crisis, most are left out of the very solutions that impact their lives.

Long before public attention was galvanized and funding was realized, we created a space to hold a conversation the public needed to have because we saw firsthand how many frontline communities were impacted by climate change. 

Knowing realities would soon outweigh overlook, we forged ahead. For eight years, with the support of a small band of concerned citizens, we've been gathering testimonies from affected populations all over the world, ensuring their voices inform policy and practice, reporting displacement stories, raising awareness, educating and creating impacts wherever we can. 

From speaking globally to climate-affected populations forced to move, providing the connective tissue of climate impacts across multiple sectors widening insecurity and inequality, to pressuring governments and international organizations for urgent action, Climate Refugees is galvanizing rights and protections for people displaced by the climate crisis. 

Our footprint has grown strong because we are the only organization solely focused on the issue of climate displacement. 

For us, this isn’t only a climate issue nor just a border issue. This is fundamentally a justice issue.
