DESCRIPTION:A guest lecture by Dr Yvonne Su\, Assistant Professor in Equity
  Studies\, York University.\n\nAbstract:\n\nClimate migration is a global 
 mobility trend that has been inaccurately portrayed as the Global South “i
 nvading” the Global North. Media scaremongering has reported on a great cl
 imate migration headed “north” and described an upcoming century of mass m
 igration of millions. Yet\, the established literature on climate migratio
 n shows that most people displaced by climate change will be internally di
 splaced inside countries. Indeed\, internal climate migration is already t
 aking place in Canada with recurrent wildfires and floods displacing many 
 communities. While some are forced to move either permanently or temporari
 ly\, others choose to move to safer areas to mitigate future hazard risks.
  This seminar discusses the various factors influencing climate-induced di
 splacement in Canada and reflects on the consequences of colonialism by hi
 ghlighting how climate change\, and by extension\, climate displacement\, 
 disproportionally impacts indigenous communities. Finally\, it discusses s
 ome solutions and recommendations\, including the need for more research o
 n the subject and proactive measures.\n
