Immigration law is wide and varied but there is a particularly important and urgent legal issues to be discussed: climate migration / displacement.   

This episode looks at what we mean by climate migration, why it is an imminent threat, and how it links to matters of social justice. The ReImagine Law team are joined by Maria Patsalos and Becca Hird from Mishcon de Reya who talk about their work on the Mishcon Climate Migration Project and how listeners can help put this important issue on the political agenda despite it not being on the COP26 agenda.
