Episode 5 -Environmental Migration: Rethinking Narratives and Legal Protections in a Changing World

Did you know that climate change is displacing millions, reshaping communities, and challenging legal systems worldwide? Yet, climate migrants are still not recognized under international refugee law.

In this episode, we speak with Elena Giacomelli, sociology professor at the University of Bologna, and Giulia Dal Ben, PhD researcher in European Law, to explore the intersection of climate, migration, and justice. We critically examine dominant narratives, discuss the gaps in legal protections, and rethink how to build inclusive, intersectional, and decolonial approaches to climate displacement.
Join us as we bridge law, sociology, and policy to confront one of today’s most urgent global challenges.
