Right to Flight, Right to Life works to change and increase the amount of action and rights for climate refugees across the world. Many people face deadly conditions daily due to the climate crisis, and even more will in the future. We must alter the way we think about migration to include climate refugees to ensure they are afforded the right to migration, safe and accessible passage, and resources needed to survive. People will die if there is no access to these things. Everyone should have the right to flight, because everyone has a right to life.
Our Values
These are our main values that drive our work forward. They inform our initiatives and what we work to change in the world. We believe if we are all able to have these values and change in mainstream society, the world will be a better place for climate migrants.
Open migrationWe believe that migration application should be easy and open to climate migrants, whether it's relocating due to a recent disaster or even the imminent threat of danger. |
Accessible PassageWe believe that the migration process should be easy and accessible for all people to ensure equity and fairness. |
ResourcesWe believe that once people have migrated, they should be provided with resources needed to survive, such as food, water, and housing. |
With these values in mind, we work to create change for both current and potential migrants or refugees. We work to reform the way migrants are defined and treated to ensure that people displaced due to climate can easily find a place to go. It's hard enough to have to move away from your home, so the last thing we should do is put up more barriers during an already difficult time.
OUR GOALWe want to ensure that every climate refugee has a place to go. |
First Let'sRaise Awareness
Climate refugees or climate migrants need to be seen and heard. This is an issue that everyone across the world needs to know about, and you can help.

Now let's createPolicy Change
Changing laws and policy is the concrete change that we need to see both federally and internationally. We work to create those changes in immigration laws, in the UN's definition of refugee, and in providing aid.

IT'S UP TO US ToChange
Governments and international organizations must listen to the people if our voices are too loud to silence. We have to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves by fighting for the flight and fighting for the lives of people whose home can no longer sustain them.
