Migrants Alliance (IMA), and Kalikasan-People’s Network on the Environment organized ‘Beyond Labels, Beyond Borders: International Solidarity Conference on the Rights of Climate Migrants’ in the Philippines. The conference brought together 73 participants
from 54 organizations from 22 countries from the different global regions. <o:p>

with the affirmation that it is through genuine international solidarity that we will be able to reclaim our right to live in dignity and imagine a future.
