The Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley advances groundbreaking approaches to exposing the dire impacts of the climate crisis and building climate resilience. We develop compelling research tools, analyses, and recommendations, and bring together impacted communities, civil society, and policy and lawmakers committed to an inclusive, just, and sustainable world.
The Climate Crisis, Displacement, and the Right to Stay project aims to connect demands for recognizing the rights of people displaced by the climate crisis and across international borders–through legal protections as climate refugees–to the transformational changes needed to materialize peoples’ rights to stay home and thrive within inclusive, just, and climate-resilient communities.
