GET INVOLVED

Whether you’re a lawyer, a volunteer or a benefactor, you can help us find rights-based solutions to displacement.

Kadir van Lohuizen’s extraordinary Where Will We Go Exhibition, backed by DS, UNEP, the Netherlands government and others, opened today at the UN Headquarters in New York. The Exhibition which first appeared in December 2014 at the COP meetings in Lima, Peru has since travelled the globe giving ever larger numbers of people direct access to photographic evidence of the tragic and growing reality of climate displacement throughout the world. If you happen to be in New York in the coming weeks, please try to make a point of visiting the UN to see Kadir’s amazing photographs. If you would be interested in hosting future exhibitions of the Where Will We Go presentation, please let us know. Several images of the Exhibition appear below.

Congratulations to long-time DS associate Dr. Khaled Hassine on his new book Handling Climate Displacement!

Climate Change and Human Rights Law School Course Goes Digital

DS Director Scott Leckie recently completed teaching his popular law school course at Monash Law School in Melbourne on Climate Change and Human Rights (LAW5454), this time using Zoom. After some initial reluctance to teach a complex law course using Zoom because of the COVD-19 lockdown, after a few minutes all was well and the two-week course was a pure joy to teach - great and clearly dedicated students always makes a big difference! If you would like to have Scott teach this course at your law school or as an undergraduate course, please contact us anytime at info@displacementsolutions.org to discuss possibilities. This is the world's first law school course on climate change and human rights, and has been taught by Scott at various leading law schools since 2007 when he first designed and presented the course in Australia....

Second Phase of One House, One Family at a time project - almost complete!

DS is happy to announce that the second phase of our One House, One Family at a time project (OHOF) in Bangladesh, implemented with our partners YPSA, is nearly complete. Once Phase 2 is completed, OHOF will have constructed nine new homes for some of Bangladesh's most vulnerable coastal dwellers. These homes are provided on a permanent basis at no cost to the new residents. DS and YPSA will commence Phase 3 of OHOF in mid-2020 and will aim to raise funds for and construct a further eleven homes, thus bringing the total number of homes to 20, providing free homes to more than 100 residents. Please JOIN us in supporting OHOF by making a financial contribution of any size towards the USD 56,000- budget of Phase 3 by being in contact with us (info@displacementsolutions.org). As always, we re happy to report that 100% of your funds will go straight to Bangladesh. All efforts by DS are voluntary and carried out on a pro bono basis. We hope you can assist in making Phase 3 a success!!...
