Migration policy in any destination country like Canada focuses on the traditional causes of migration. Such reasons include persecution, war, famine, poverty, few economic opportunities and genocide. But what about the effects of climate change? This is fast becoming a type of justification for seeking residency in receiving nations.Yet there is no legal framework or recognition of climate migration in Canada's immigration system of laws or policies. For this reason, we rely on developments in international law (e.g. United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification or UNCCD) and key jurisdictions in the world (like Australia) that have taken the lead in addressing climate-induced migration.This presentation will focus on the treatment of climate migration using a comparative law analysis. It concludes on how Canada should adopt climate migration into its migration governance framework.Kamaal Zaidi is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Calgary. He currently teaches administrative law, immigration and refugee law, contracts, civil procedure, and criminal law and procedure. His current research focuses on climate change and immigration and professional regulation in administrative law. A question-and-answer period will be held after the presentation. Coffee and tea will be served to the in-person attendees.Please see below for the zoom link:https://ucalgary.zoom.us/j/95954029545Any questions on the topic may be sent to This event is sponsored by the Alberta Law Foundation - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/smls-what-canada-can-learn-from-global-climate-migration-policies/100001628617923049 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, fine-arts, drawing-painting - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fsmls-what-canada-can-learn-from-global-climate-migration-policies-tickets-1628617923049 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Murray Fraser Hall, Room MFH 2370 - **lat**: 51.0781599 - **long**: -114.1358007 - **full address**: Murray Fraser Hall, Room MFH 2370, Faculty of Law, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Canadian Institute of Resources Law (https://allevents.in/org/canadian-institute-of-resources-law/17703329) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e8a1655c1f8ab3f439617cf621b3d9f33a494921bb1e5754bf7739101f1ce6f0-rimg-w1200-h890-dc6589c1-gmir.jpg?v=1760504118 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/2742e83ebe334ca788b6a9da62c73970a1118405494f539e1168fbef3435791e-rimg-w400-h400-dc6689c1-gmir.jpg?v=1760504113 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 25 Oct, 2025 at 10:00 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Murray Fraser Hall, Room MFH 2370, Faculty of Law, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 CAD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Canadian Institute of Resources Law - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** workshops, art, fine-arts, drawing-painting - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about SMLS - What Canada can Learn from Global Climate Migration Policies ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "SMLS - What Canada can Learn from Global Climate Migration Policies", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e8a1655c1f8ab3f439617cf621b3d9f33a494921bb1e5754bf7739101f1ce6f0-rimg-w1200-h890-dc6589c1-gmir.jpg?v=1760504118", "startDate": "2025-10-25", "endDate": "2025-10-25", "url": "https://allevents.in/calgary/smls-what-canada-can-learn-from-global-climate-migration-policies/100001628617923049", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Murray Fraser Hall, Room MFH 2370", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Faculty of Law, University of Calgary", "postalCode": "T2N 1N4", "addressLocality": "Calgary", "addressRegion": "AB", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.0781599", "longitude": "-114.1358007" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The session explores gaps in Canada’s immigration law on climate migration, drawing on examples from leading countries addressing this issue", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "CAD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-10-25", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/calgary/smls-what-canada-can-learn-from-global-climate-migration-policies/100001628617923049" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "CAD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/calgary/smls-what-canada-can-learn-from-global-climate-migration-policies/100001628617923049", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Canadian Institute of Resources Law", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/canadian-institute-of-resources-law/17703329", "description": "The Canadian Institute of Resources Law is the leading national centre of expertise on legal and policy issues relating to Canada's natural resources.
