On the 15th December 2022 took place the final event of the project CREATE - Climate Refugees Exist: let’s stArt to Talk about it, led by the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics - OGS  and co-funded by the Central European Initiative - CEI.

The event  focused on the topic of climate change as a root cause for migration both from an international and scientific point of view thanks to the contributions of Matteo Valentinuz, Protection Associate, UNHCR and Marco Reale, Researcher expert in Climate Change, OGS. 

The discussion was moderated by Sara Tonolo, Professor of International Law, University of Trieste.

The conference also included the presentation of the innovative role-playing game developed within the project.
