The webinar featured a prominent panel of experts who help to provide evidence that debunks common and dangerous myths surrounding climate change and displacement. From the idea that displacement linked with disasters is temporary, to the claim that disasters are natural and therefore displacement unavoidable, all the way to the belief that climate change will result in “mass displacement”, this online webinar touched on a broad range of topics.

This was the first of two events that we at IDMC are organising as a lead-in to our 2021 Global Report on Internal Displacement. It's a part of our wider Expert Forum 2020 which focuses on climate change and disaster displacement.
