Overview

Millions of people are displaced every year due to weather related disasters driven by climate change, but almost none of them legally count as refugees. Through this displacement, communities are forced to scatter and languages, knowledge, homes and traditions are lost.

Find out more about climate refugees by following our new trail highlighting this issue during this year's Refugee Week.

 

Details

Maps can be collected from the Porters' Lodge or viewed online.

The trail is free to follow and there is no booking required. 

 

Access

This trail is set in our gardens and the foyer of the Lee Library which have fully step-free access. There is an accessible toilet located in our main building.
