“Every year, the slow-onset impacts of climate change affect millions of lives. People are forced to leave their homes while others are trapped in at-risk areas.

How can we ensure tailored approaches in the formulation and implementation of policies on regular migration pathways? How can we link policy discourse with art and promote a holistic perspective to these questions?”
