As the climate crisis reshapes landscapes and livelihoods, migration is becoming an undeniable reality of our time. But what compels people to move—or stay—when faced with environmental change? And how do global structures influence these decisions? This panel will bring together diverse perspectives.

• Ilse Ruyssen, director of CliMigHealth, will examine the motivations behind and impact of migration.
• Albina Fetahaj will provide a critical lens, drawing from her recent book Grenskolonialisme.
• Florian Debeve, researcher at the Hugo Observatory and the ALBATROSS project, will explore displacement within the context of green gentrification.
• Susanne Melde will contribute her expertise as a representative of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Marwa Neji will be moderating the discussion, a doctoral researcher at CESSMIR and the Conflict and Development Department, whose work focuses on migration and gender studies.
