About the ISCM
The International School on Climate Mobilities (ISCM) brings together emerging scholars, practitioners, and change-makers to engage in critical knowledge exchange around climate-induced displacement and related challenges. The program aims to provide participants with the tools and understanding needed to address the nexus of climate change, environment, and mobility in just, creative, and cross-sectoral ways.
The ISCM focuses on vulnerable groups affected by climate change, including women and girls, racialized minorities, Indigenous communities, and economically disenfranchised populations. By engaging in critical, decolonial, and justice-oriented approaches, participants learn how to respond to the multifaceted challenges of climate mobilities.
