The focus of this discussion will be on migrants and refugees at a time of COVID and climate change. We are all in a time of uncertainty, therefore, solidarity and resilience is needed for all of us. The panel will discuss this in relation to the wellbeing of displaced people. In order to fulfil the SDGs for the sake of our future and of our common humanity, we need the resources of all. The panel will explore ways in which communities can support and engage with newcomers and find mutual benefits in so doing.
