• One of the most well-established strategies we have had throughout our history as humans to deal with crises is to migrate. Movement, whether forced displacement or planned relocation, is a well-rehearsed adaptation mechanism.
• As the planet heats up, parts of the world are becoming unliveable. Drought, extreme heat, sea level rises, flooding, coastal erosion are already displacing people across drylands, low-lying areas and coastal regions, predominantly in the "Global South" but increasingly displacing people everywhere. Patterns of migration are expected to evolve, with internal and cross-border movement set to increase.
• We recognise the UK’s historical, disproportionate and ongoing role in contributing to global heating and see the welcoming of people seeking safety as a step towards repair. Climate justice is migrant justice is racial justice.
• We know that the current extractive, inequitable, post-colonial institutions, structures and narratives that shape our economy as they currently stand are unlikely to provide the environment needed to centre justice in all its forms as we navigate these climatic shifts and changing patterns of migration.
• We believe in the power of peer learning - and cross-disciplinary conversations - to generate new thinking, insight and imagination, centring the voices of directly impacted people wherever we can.
• We see collaboration by people across sectors as critical to unlocking an alternative to our current trajectory, building justice-centred approaches that demonstrate what it means to anticipate, prepare for and welcome people who migrate, directly or indirectly as a result of climate change.
• Projects, policies and practices that put fairness and justice at the heart of how we adapt to climate change - whilst accelerating efforts to mitigate climate breakdown in the first place - are good for us all.
