Migration in Times of Climate Change – Crisis or Part of the Solution?

Commentary
In its latest assessment report the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that one in three people is extremely vulnerable to climate change. This vulnerability is intertwined with social inequality and therefore unequally distributed across the globe.  The assessment results emphasize a central question of our time: how can we protect affected population and adapt to present and future change in the climate?

Fact: LGBTIQ+ rights are human rights

Dossier
Systemic exclusion, various kinds of violence, and discrimination are still being imposed on LGBTIQ+ people to deal with, individually and on a daily basis. Criminalization and stigma have further hindered access to basic human rights and needs, as many countries continue to foster a culture of social homophobia and transphobia. The COVID-19 crisis did not make things any better and LGBTIQ+ people were vulnerable to the worst effects of the virus and the fallout it created.
