A little over a year ago, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world down to its knees. No country was spared the wrath, revealing how vulnerable we are to disasters and emergencies. Climate change is one such disaster looming over us. Recently, experts got together to unpack the impact of disasters and conflict on displacement from the lens of environmental degradation, limited access to public health and other essential services. The digital conversation was hosted by the ICRC, New Delhi, in partnership with the O. P. Jindal Global University – Jindal School of Environment and Sustainability (JSES). The idea was to focus on factors contributing to both internal displacement and forced environmental migration.
