Environmental disasters are policy disasters. They make evident inequality, violence, indebtedness, corruption, and the legacies of war and colonialism. They produce internal displacement and cross-border migration, and yet there are few tracks for admission for “climate refugees” in immigration regimes. Garcia will discuss the environmental drivers of Central American migration since 1998that are often obscured in immigration records, and the limited protections available to those displaced by disasters and accelerating climate change.
