2017 CAMDEN CONFERENCE

Refugees and Global Migration: Humanity’s Crisis

February 17-19, 2017

The 30th annual Camden Conference—“Refugees and Global Migration: Humanity’s Crisis” — explored the varied causes of the current international crisis and the unique challenges that come with accepting immigrants from particular countries, regions, and demographic groups. Speakers examined the political, economic, and social consequences of population flight for the countries they have abandoned in the Middle East, Africa, and Central America. Going beyond the present crisis, conference speakers will examine the factors that will likely drive migration in the coming decades—from dramatic demographic shifts to climate change, natural disasters, and ethnic, territorial, and political conflicts. And, turning the spotlight in our direction, speakers will discuss the role that should be played by the United States, a country built by immigrants
