How does the media depict climate migrants? Is there a lack of empathy? What could the media do differently? How do we tell these important stories in a way that connects?

This panel discussion is another collaboration for the STAND Festival. A range of talented panelists will talk about how the media represents climate migrants. All of these important questions and more will be addressed.
